Poem, MY education has done nothing of the sort. MY education has armed me against falling for sweeping generalizations, evidence free assertions and free range bat-shit rants by righties on all manner of subjects. In other words, it did for me what the best educations are supposed to do.
J.S. Mill speaks for me on the merits of 'virtual collisions' with the errors from people like yourself. So thank you for my 'clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error' [/quote] LOL
Speaking of 'alien worms', the new A L I E N movie is out this week. Looks like a lot of fun. You would think that future data bases would properly prepare our intrepid space explorers with what to do and what NOT to do. Like NOT leaning your face over a f*ckin' pulsating pod.
Don't they have 'On Demand' anymore?
The collision of truth with error

Let us suppose, therefore, that the government is entirely at one with the people, and never thinks of exerting any power of coercion unless in agreement with what it conceives to be their voice.
But I deny the right of the people to exercise such coercion, either by themselves or by their government. The power itself is illegitimate.
The best government has no more title to it than the worst. It is as noxious, or more noxious, when exerted in accordance with public opinion, than when in or opposition to it.
If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.
Were an opinion a personal possession of no value except to the owner; if to be obstructed in the enjoyment of it were simply a private injury, it would make some difference whether the injury was inflicted only on a few persons or on many.
But the peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it.
If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. [22-3]
