The only way to deal with novelty is to understand it, and the only way to deal with grievance is to seek a remedy for the complaint it embodies.
We grant toleration in one part of the field only to deny it in another.
To deny novelty or grievance a right of expression is a certain, if, indeed, an ultimate, validation of the truth they contain.
When attacks on liberty are political or economic, it is their motive rather than their nature that changes.
