Silencing

The Government seems intent upon silencing an organization which has done so much to raise awareness of the human rights situation in Sudan.

A democrat is, at the end of the day, one who admits that an opponent can be right, and therefore lets them express themselves and allows for reflection upon their arguments. When parties or men feel sufficiently persuaded by their own arguments that they allow the silencing of those that contradict them by means of violence, that isn't democracy.

The goal, even when a small one, always becomes gooooooooooooooooooal in the mouth of a radio presenter, a full-throated "do" capable of permanently silencing Caruso, and the crowd goes wild, and the stadium forgets it is made of cement and lifts off the ground and into the air.

The government is silencing the opposition.

Participating in debate isn't silencing debate.

But these harmonies can be distinguished from silencings in which the content of certain interpretations requires or advocates obliterating the voice of another.
