"more speech" on trout camp road

Justice Louis D. Brandeis, in the landmark 1927 decision protecting speech through the 1st Amendment to the US Consitution, wrote:

"If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and the fallacies,

to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is

more speech, not enforced silence."

There is something noble, perfectly American, about this lone sign on a grassy field along a rural stretch

of Trout Camp Road in Monroe County, Illinois. The first amendment protection promotes not just the

freedom to speak one's mind, with opinions and positions both popular and unpopular, but the exercise of the free and open discussion of ideas. This sign causes me to think every time I drive by it. Some may take it as a provocation. Some may take it as an affirmation. To the person who erected this position on Trout Camp Road, thank you.
