I believe the prize was set to be a Kid Rock $5. The original quote was aimed at stressing the lies we encounter in life. THis one is aimed at stressing the importance of letting idiots like myself speak their minds, Here goes:
"[W]hen men have realized that time has upset many fighting faiths, they may come to believe even more than they believe the very foundation of their own conduct that the ultimate good desired is better reached by free trade in ideas -- that the best of truth is the very power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market, and that truth is the only ground upon which their wishes safely be carried out."
OK- It's not another Johnny Rotten quote. In fact, it's pretty pretentious. But it moved me again tonight. It explains why I sometimes rant. And it's worth a $5 chip to Whomever can ID it.
