“Words can harm. The childhood saying ‘Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me’ is obviously untrue. Words bring ruin and despair, drive people to suicide, and foment massacres and war. They are used to justify the enslavement of nations, and the genocide of entire ethnic groups. This is exactly why we must all, always, be free to speak them.” (09/26/24)
