Product Description
"Free Flow" is about the free flow of information. Freedom of speech is one of the most important pillars of a liberal society. And it seems as though that's being eroded too easily these days.
I am reminded, ironically, of the quote by Henry Ford after showcasing the now-famous Model-T, "You can have this vehicle in any color you want, as long as it's black". It seems as though the appropriate quote that the media has adopted is, "You may have any opinion you want, as long as it's our opinion". I don't know why black was the only option for the Model-T, but perhaps there was a good excuse for it. There is no good reason to silence anybody's voice.
What I want in this country is diversity. After all, doesn't everybody agree that diversity creates a better life than monotony? But I'm not just talking about Asians, Blacks, Whites, and others living in the same country. I'm not just talking about people of different ancestries working in the same economy. The pinnacle of diversity is when people of different philosophies and ideologies work together, collaborate together, and fight together. Censorship, then, is the greatest enemy of diversity.
You may think censorship is needed. You may think censorship is justified. But censorship is used as a weapon against 'dangerous' people. I will clarify. Censorship is not being used against criminals, but against individuals with controversial ideas.
Free Flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny.
