Hall wrote the above in The Friends of Voltaire as an illustration of Voltaire's beliefs.

In many nations, including the United States on occasion, governments have made laws as to what is valid science and what is not. Tennessee and other Bible-Belt States have and still do on occasion.

Jabotinsky was a strong advocate of the Jewish Zionist movement not concerning itself with moral lapses and excessive zeal as many of the idealistic Zionists did, looking for a kind of Jewish Utopia. He argued that the British had done awful things when their national interest was threatened and the Arabs were far worse than almost any group of peoples. Therefore, the Zionists were entitled to use the methods of the other nations and Jews should not be the only people on earth that should be castigated for conquering a land and people. He particularly thought that even the United States which was better than almost all other nations had killed the Indian and driven him out of his own land. Why not the Jews? There has always, since he wrote this, been a minority of Zionists and Israelis who agree with the Jabotinsky view, but his view has never become a majority position of policy of Zionism or Israel.

This statement of the problem was so eloquent and universal that it is even used a century later. For example it was quoted by James Inhofe, on his Senate Speech, October 4, 2004.
When Secretary of State, Jefferson ran the first American Patent Office. The Patent system was originally and educational program, not an intellectual property program. Inventors would keep all their technological secrets to themselves. The idea behind the original patent system was to give an inventor a limited monopoly on profiting from his invention in exchange for sharing his information and techniques with his countrymen—thus improving the technological competency of the entire society. The very first patents were available for public inspection for that reason. And even today, copies of patents are available easily for almost no cost. And few American ideas worked as well as our early patent system. Through its educational role and technology transfer, America came from technological nowhere to being the pre-eminent inventing nation of the world. The balance between public access to invention and innovation and preservation of some rights to the creator of intellectual property is key to modern development.
