that quote has been one of the greatest influences in my life since i first met it in about 9th or 10th grad. and growing up as i did in south africa, you can be sure that such a statement assumed even greater significance. It also comes in useful whenever i get involved in an political discussion with a cabbi as so ften happens. In fact there is one wonderful fellow from Somalia who often transports me to meetings with the social workers, who greets me in a stentorian bass, as he declaims "i disagree with what you say......" THanks , janet, for bringing this meaningful saying to everyone's attention. hilary blu\ 51,33,24 janet paterson wrote: > > i may disagree with what you have to say > but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it > > voltaire > >
