Enlightenment: Post-Modernist Version

There goes the "post-modernist" version of Enlightenment! "Liberty, Equality and Fraternity" sacrificed at the altar of political expedience.

"Books won't stay banned. They won't burn. Ideas won't go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost. The only weapon against bad ideas is better ideas. " ~Alfred Whitney Griswold, New York Times, 24 February 1959
