...to invite dispute.

Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, said that the "function of free speech under our system of government is to invite dispute. It may indeed best serve its higher purpose when it induces a condition of unrest, creates dissatisfaction with conditions as they are, or even stirs people to anger."

-- Quoted from a review of the book: "The Shadow University: The Betrayal of Liberty on America’s Campuses"
