In Alexis DeToqueville's now 250 year+ old Democracy In America, 
there's a story of how he and the grandson of New York's first 
colonial governor, a fellow named Charles Ingersoll, were walking 
down a street in NYC when a bunch of guys broke out of a union hall 
and began demonstrating on the streets.  "How can you permit this?" 
DeToqueville asked.  Ingersoll's reply has been one of my favorite 
quotes for years, as it really applies to angry talk radio ...   "As 
long as a man might speak with liberty," he said, "you can bet he won't act."
