From Mr B. W. Knox, MRPharmS
SIR,-So Mr Thomson (PJ, July 15, p90) and Mr Humfress (PJ, July 29, p161) have a simple solution to correspondents expressing views not in accordance with their own: use censorship. They presume that the censor, of course, would be on their side. However, the problem is that once democracy is removed from society, who is to say which way the censor will go?
Is it not better that we can read all views - even the ones, to quote Mr Thomson, which are "poisonous twaddle". After all, one man's meat is another man's poison.
