    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

    Book Preview:

    #1 Don’t defend bad people, bad speech, or bad acts, or you’ll end up defending the right to deny others the same rights. -> The problem with selective application of civil liberties is that they ultimately end up being applied to none, as they were designed to protect everyone.

    #2 Do not selectively apply civil liberties because you will end up applying them to none and everyone will be against you.

    #3 Don’t selectively apply civil liberties because you will end up applying them to none and everyone will be against you.

    #4 Selective censorship is a recipe for none.

      #1

      Freedom of speech, due process, and equal protection are principles I have always lived by. I have defended bad people, bad speech, and bad acts in an effort to combat bad laws. But too many people only apply these principles selectively, favoring the rights of those they like.

      #2
