Absolutist Quotes

I’m not an absolutist about free speech. Intellectually, I believe that most of the time it’s better to let things get said, argue them, and put lies and stupidities to rest. Practically, I know that newspapers rarely issue corrections with the same prominence they give to denouncements - and Twitter, by its nature, never does Picture Quote #1
