“Every human being has, like Socrates, an attendant spirit; and wise are they who obey its signals. If it does not always tell us what to do, it always cautions us what not to do.”

Altneuland (1902)

Speech at Harvard Law School (16 February 1999) http://www.nra.org/Speech.aspx?id=6029 <br class="br">Context: Telling us what to think has evolved into telling us what to say, so telling us what to do can&#x27;t be far behind.<br>Before you claim to be a champion of free thought, tell me: Why did political correctness originate on America&#x27;s campuses? And why do you continue to tolerate it? Why do you, who&#x27;re supposed to debate ideas, surrender to their suppression?<br>Let&#x27;s be honest. Who here thinks your professors can say what they really believe?<br>It scares me to death and should scare you too, that the superstition of political correctness rules the halls of reason.<br>You are the best and the brightest. You, here in the fertile cradle of American academia, here in the castle of learning on the Charles River, you are the cream. But I submit that you, and your counterparts across the land, are the most socially conformed and politically silenced generation since Concord Bridge. And as long as you validate that... and abide it... you are — by your grandfathers&#x27; standards — cowards.
