"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?
No!! Nobody said anything about silencing anybody. They can all have all and any opinions they so choose.

The quote presented has absolutely nothing to do with the intent of my position.
