unrestricted constitutional right of each member to think
as he will. Thought control is a copyright of totalitarianism,
and we have no claim to it."

Justice Robert H. Jackson
(1892-1954), U. S. Supreme Court Justice

    All rights are inalienable and personal. The society of the here Justice is not my society. Justice Jackson's society was that of totalitarianism, making a lie of the rest of the comment.

    jim, if the last sentence is isolated, I absolutely agree with the whole of your comment. Thought control is a copyright of totalitarianism, and we, the individual sovereigns (in person and/or in concert) with intact inalienable rights and liberty have no claim to it.
