More rigour please...It was most famously wrongly ascribed to him by Evelyn Beatrice Hall (who wrote under the name Stephen G Tallentyre) and thus another urban myth arose: I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. Ch. 7 : Helvetius : The Contradiction, p. 199; because of quote marks around the original publication of these words, they are often attributed to Voltaire, though Hall was not actually quoting him but summarizing his attitude with the expression. The statement was widely popularized when misattributed to Voltaire as a "Quotable Quote" in Reader's Digest (June 1934), but in response to the misattribution, Hall had been quoted in Saturday Review (11 May 1935), p. 13, as stating: I did not mean to imply that Voltaire used these words verbatim and should be surprised if they are found in any of his works. They are rather a paraphrase of Voltaire's in the Essay on Tolerance — "Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so too." Voltaire say that!

They may just be funny Tai Chi wannabes to us, but obviously they are as dangerous as Al Qaeda to Donald and his masters. Seriously, there is brainwashing to consider... blind nationalism may not be enough if we let conflicting views into the picture.
