Letter "R" » repressive
«At least one way of measuring the freedom of any society is the amount of comedy that is permitted, and clearly a healthy society permits more satirical comment than a repressive, so that if comedy is to function in some way as a safety release then it must obviously deal with these taboo areas. This is part of the responsibility we accord our licensed jesters, that nothing be excused the searching light of comedy. If anything can survive the probe of humour it is clearly of value, and conversely all groups who claim immunity from laughter are claiming special privileges which should not be granted.»
«It's a repressive society where you can't be horrible, I'm not horrible, they made me horrible, I'm just honest.»
«People who set up repressive machinery always think it's going to be directed against the Bad Guys (whoever they think the Bad Guys are) and never against themselves»
«The more there are riots, the more repressive action will take place, and the more we face the danger of a right-wing takeover and eventually a fascist society.»
