Heywood Broun Quote

It's like diluting the currency by printing more money without an equal amount of backing — current holders' money is now devalued, i.e. inflation.  Same for 'words' — it does not take many words to tell the truth.  But with a flood of words, often charged to fever pitch, simple truths are drowned out and diluted and tainted.  That's using 'free speech' as a weapon, and the same responsiblities apply to the speaker as to the armed citizen.
