• Yet, for I know thou art religious
  And hast a thing within thee called conscience,
  With twenty popish tricks and ceremonies
  Which I have seen thee careful to observe,
  Therefore I urge thy oath; for that I know
  An idiot holds his bauble for a god
  And keeps the oath which by that god he swears,
  To that I'll urge him: therefore thou shalt vow
  By that same god, what god soe'er it be,
  That thou adorest and hast in reverence,
  To save my boy, to nourish and bring him up,
  Or else I will discover naught to thee.

• Absolute freedom doesn't exist and never did. Just as we don't spit on the floor at work, swear at customers, or send out letters full of misspellings, so too we might have to 'watch our language.' It is odd that the request for unbiased language in schools and workplaces is considered intolerable when other limits on our freedom to do whatever we want are not.
