We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people. -John F. Kennedy, 35th US president (1917-1963)
The tide seems to be turning in this regard. More and more, it seems that the arbiters of opinion are afraid to let some kinds of facts, philosophies, and values enter the open market of ideas. Does that mean that our opinion leaders are afraid of their people?
