Wherever the
relevance of speech is at stake, matters become political by
definition, for speech is what makes man a political being.

American Political Philosopher

yourself ought to be seldom and well chosen.
-- Francis Bacon

legislation, speech is its code. We do not see the power
which is in speech because we forget that all speech is a
classification, and that all classifications are oppressive.

1915-1980, French Semiologist
