“The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, and intolerable, and so if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not a romantic person he is very apt to spread discontent among those who are.” (H. L. Mencken)
