I was on the speech team, we called it forensics.

Speak not at all, in any wise, till you have somewhat to speak; care not for the reward of your speaking, but simply and with undivided mind for the truth of your speaking.

Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better. Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time.

Everyone is doing forensics.

Free speech is the cornerstone to every right we have.

Speech is civilization itself. The word... preserves contact / it is silence which isolates.
