Perilous Times on LessigBlog
Catch the action at Lessig's blog where Geof Stone is guestblogging. Stone is the author of In Perilous Times, an examination of six times in the deep U.S. historical past when the government has seen fit to curtail civil liberties.
Stone gives historical perspective on The Alien & Sedition Acts of 1798, and he examines why governments suppress dissent in wartime, then he looks at some specifics of The Civil War, and World War I.
Is any of this relevant to the USA today? Stone poses specific questions, but offers no answers. Well worth reading!
