Haha, it’s hard not to feel a twitch of self-righteous liberal superiority upon reading Burke’s words. Even though none of us is really “liberal” in this regard—privately almost none of us value freedom of opinion more than spreading one’s own opinions; we’re just bound by a prisoner’s dilemma in this regard. Our age is more polite and hypocritical about it, though.

From this I can’t quite tell whether your first impulse/twitch was to side with Burke or Price.
I think I don’t value spreading my opinions at all. At least, I’m not interested in moving “public opinion.”
