Oh please help me. Here is the partial quote: "You measure a democracy by the amount of freedon it gives its dissenters--not by the freedom it gives its assimilated.." and I can't remember the rest, but it kind of obvious what would follow, I guess. It's a great quote, and I THOUGHT Abbie Hoffman said it, but I can't find it ANYWHERE, not by him, not by anyone. PLEASE help me!

Thenx you veddy much!

You are correct:

"You measure democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists."
Abbie Hoffman

“The true measure of a Democracy is measured by the amount of freedom it gives to its dissidents”

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? - The Bible, Matthew 16:26 :: NASB

THANK YOU so much!
