AMERICA IS ...

where the voices of citizens are not silenced. Different views can be discussed openly.

"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, former president of Yale University
