Great quote

"We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people."

John F. Kennedy on the 20th anniversary of the Voice of America (February 26, 1962), quoted from Floyd College, Rome, Georgia
