Robert P. Doyle Quote 

"When books are challenged, restricted, removed, or banned,
an atmosphere of suppression exists...
The fear of the consequences of censorship
is as damaging as, or perhaps more damaging than,
the actual censorship attempt.
After all, when a published work is banned,
it can usually be found elsewhere.
Unexpressed ideas, unpublished works,
unpurchased books are lost forever."

I completely agree. I'm writing an essay on banned books and am going to use your quote.

You are wrong, free people can not and have never been able to be trusted with the freedom they so cherish. People on mass are too irresponsible and unintelligent to be given the ability to govern themselves and therefore need the leadership of ONE man/woman to shepherd the flock. History proves this.
