"I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"

Misquoting an 18th century French writer who worked towards a better judicial system in what could have been considered a tyrannical government in response to my "entitlements versus freedom from tyrannical governments" comment is absolutely hilarious. :lol:

For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, that quote is often attributed to Voltaire. It was actually made up by Evelyn Hall, a Canadian, in a biography she wrote about Voltaire. The quote is often used as a retort for "freedom of speech", although it had nothing to do with that. It was about judicial reform in France, and made up.
