Voltaire, you big hypocrite! How can you say "While I may not agree with what you say, I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it." when you were clearly anti-censorship! Until you're ready to defend to the death people's right to say that people shouldn't be able to say whatever they want, you're a hypocrite! And even then, since you're saying people shouldn't be able to say whatever they want, you're a hypocrite. Because if you're saying that, you're saying that you're not saying it at the same time that you are.

So, in essence, Voltaire, you big hypocrite!
