Under the First Amendment there is no such thing as a false idea. However pernicious an opinion may seem, we depend for its correction not on the conscience of judges and juries but on the competition of other ideas.

Another quote about Vietnam War

Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
Ooh, that red, white, and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief,"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son, no.
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one.
