The Debs Decision https://ia902703.us.archive.org/33/items/TheDebsDecision/Debs.htm (1919) <br class="br">Context: Compared with the necessity of protecting ruling class privileges and prerogatives, the right of a man to express his mind goes for nothing. That is the lesson of history and that is what we are witnessing today. Men who have stirred up the people; men who have raised their voices in protest; men who thought straight; men who have loved their fellow men too much; men who have had conviction and courage and purpose; men who were willing to stick by their ideals—such men have suffered in every age.
John Conington (1825–1869) British classical scholar
