Excerpt: “The greatest offense against our society these days is not any one law or a particular assault on our freedoms.

The quote in the title is from Aung San Suu Kyi, to whom U2 dedicated the song “Walk On.” She is an outspoken fighter for democracy in her homeland of Burma, and was honored with a Nobel Prize in in 1991 for her brave efforts.
