Why we must protect everyone's right to free speech, especially those whose opinions we disagree with:
'How do I know that I know this, except that I have always been taught this and never heard anything else?'
It is always worth establishing First Principle...
'How can I prove the Earth is round? Am I sure about the Theory of Evolution? I know it is supposed to be true, here's someone who say there's no such thing, it's all Intelligent Design. How sure am I of my own views?'
Don't take refuge in the false security of consensus and the feeling that whatever you think, you're bound to be okay because you're in the safely moral majority.
