They are afraid of words and thoughts; words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home — all the more powerful because forbidden — terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic. They make frantic efforts to bar our thoughts and words; they are afraid of the workings of the human mind. -- "The Defence of Freedom and Peace (The Lights are Going Out)", radio broadcast to the United States and to London (16 October 1938)
My Take - If you are afraid to let the truth see the light of day, you're probably doing something either illegal or immoral. Stop it, you might go blind.
Pretty damn close to what is happening here right now... Just sayin...
