Haha, it's hard not to feel a twitch of self-righteous liberal superiority upon reading Burke's words. Even though none of us is really "liberal" in this regard - privately almost none of us value freedom of opinion more than spreading one's own opinions; we're just bound by a prisoner's dilemma in this regard. Our age is more polite and hypocritical about it, though.
From this I can't quite tell whether your first impulse/twitch was to side with Burke or Price.
I think I don't value spreading my opinions at all. At least, I'm not interested in moving "public opinion."
