Today's politics and society? Here is a quotation by John Stuart Mill that still seems very applicable today. John Stuart Mill was a British philosopher and political economist known for his contributions to social and political theory. His time period was the mid-1800's.

"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.”

Do you agree with that quotation?
