Free speech & its enemies.

The first Bapton Books Position Paper has been published, and due to the importance of the issue, is available free of charge.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/106680474/B...


‘Free speech, and freedom of the press and of publication as its corollary, to the very outermost limits necessary to an orderly society under law, is an absolute human right possessed of everyone on this spinning globe, and ought to be the basic presumption and fiercely-defended birthright of each of us.’ … ‘There is no “right” not to be offended.’

The partners in Bapton Books here issue a call to arms in defence of the right to think, speak, publish, and be heard, freely and without censorship.
