Peterffy: Freedom of Expression Is the Cornerstone of Liberty
Barron’s
We lived behind the Iron Curtain like zombies. Covering our eyes and ears, reciting meaningless slogans in unison that none of us believed. That’s why I had to take a chance and leave when I could. It’s also why freedom of expression is not just another “freedom,” to be listed alongside others. The ability to speak one’s conscience and to debate ideas openly is the cornerstone of all freedom.
PLY: I am not sure which is more poignant, that Thomas Peterffy reminds us of the squalor of socialism or that indeed his argument has to be made at all in what ought to be surely enlightened times?
