"By what logic or ignorance of history, do so many intellectuals denounce as repressive the societies that legalize abortion, that tolerate homosexual relationships, that give consideration to unions in the armed forces, that have, for the most part, abolished the death penalty, and that do not refuse freedom of speech to anyone, whether it be to speak in favor of pornography, or the Baader-Meinhof gang, or the wildest of possible extravagances?"--In Defense of Decadent Europe (1977) by Raymond Aron |
