FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION -- that was to be the intellectual panacea for all time, the Cleveland Wrecking Company crew of the mind knocking down -- inhibitions. Who could know the wrecking company would be followed by construction crews putting up mighty censorial edifices of their own? Who could know the relatively mild censorship for social reasons would be followed by the deadly strain of political correctness, the McCarthyism of the left? With a supposed bad replaced by a definite worse, no wonder people speak of freedom of expression in tones reserved for a state funeral.
