"[Freedom of speech, expression, the press and censorship: Keep an open mind to new ideas. Why?] Perhaps the sentiments...are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; [as] a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defence of custom. But the tumult soon subsides [and then the ideas can be rationally considered and sometimes even found beneficial]." - Thomas Paine
