Freedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter mush. That would be a mere shadow of freedom.

The test of its substance is the right to differ as to things that touch the heart of the existing order.--Justice Robert Jackson (West Virginia State Board V. Barnette, 1943) Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.-Albert Einstein
If you stand up and be counted, form time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good.--Thomas J. Watson, Jr. Leaders exhibit two essential characteristics, the willingness to confront adversity and a clearly articulated future preference.--Martin O'Malley

Opposition brings concord. Out of discord comes the fairest harmony.-Heraclitus (Fragments) The opposition is indispensable. A good statesman, like any other sensible human being, always learns more from his opponents than from his fervent supporters.--Walter Lippmann (Atlantic Monthly, August 1939)
What country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance?--Thomas Jefferson To oppose something is to maintain it.--Ursula K. LeGuin (The Left Hand of Darkness)
