Sometimes there's just some great writing you come across in the blogs (or at least referenced to in the blogs)

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.

If only the words "error" and "truth" were capitalized to read "Error" and "Truth", it would seem even more like divine commandment.
