Winston Churchill:
"Some people's idea of [free speech] is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone says anything back, that is an outrage."
Truer than ever sixty years later:
An Ontario
[Calif.] billboard company is removing a controversial Rancho Cucamonga
billboard promoting atheism after receiving complaints, according to
the group that paid for the advertisement. The billboard, at the busy corner of Archibald Avenue and Foothill
Boulevard, says "Imagine No Religion" in large letters on a
stained-glass background. Underneath is the name of the group, "Freedom
From Religion Foundation," and the group's Web address. ...
Judy Rooze, administrator of First Baptist Church of Rancho Cucamonga, which is two blocks from the billboard, was relieved it was coming down. Rooze said it was unsettling. "I understand people have freedom of speech, but this is taking it too far," she said. "It's very jarring."
