Excerto de um diálogo entre o “libertador” Thomas Jefferson e o “traidor” Aaron Burr, no livro Burr, de Gore Vidal:
“I am convinced that what we need now are a few prosecutions of the most prominent and offensive editors. Such prosecutions would have a wholesome effect upon the rest.” (Jefferson)
“But surely the First Amendment protects their freedom…” (Burr)
“Is licentiousness freedom?”
“What is licentious to you may be truth to another.”
