    In Florida the McCarthyite Republican governor not only removes books from libraries, he censors progressive college administrators and replaces them with political appointees. This way he can use his puppet strings to restrict their academic freedom and to restrict freedom of thought. Of course, the worse form of censorship is gerrymandering which, more often than not, is done by the politically incorrect right wing. But that's for another thread, I suppose.

    the irony of your quote, apart from that it pretty much avails nothing, is that mill was a regular church going proponent of classical liberalism, which is effectively today's conservative.
