Matt Taibbi: And this is what censors never understand. Speech is free.

"And this is what censors never understand. Speech is free. Trying to stop it is like trying to catch butterflies with a hammer or stop a flood with a teaspoon. Choose your metaphor, but it's a fool's errand. You can apply as many rules as you want. You can threaten punishment. You can lock people up. The human mind always sets its own course even in spite of itself. The poet William Ernest Henley explained about a century after the Constitution was written, he said, remember, it matters not how strait the gate, how charged with punishment the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul."
