I loved every sentence of your "Free Speech for the Dumb." I find it odd that most people don't realize the right to free speech does not equate the need for their free speech. The fact that this country is based on individual freedom contained in the Bill of Rights is remarkable. The Bill of Rights is what sets this nation apart.
The right to freedom of speech is also amazing in the sense that people are allowed to say whatever they wish as long as it does not endanger others. What individuals believe does not even have to be socially acceptable or even respectful. That’s the beauty of this nation. Where else can someone talk bad and accuse their government all day and not get shot or imprisoned for it? Given, imprisonment is not the case in every country for disliking the government, but in some strictly government-controlled countries, it’s not far from the truth.
Being free to voice one’s opinion without fear of the government is a privilege that we all take for granted. Not only do we not have to fear what the government thinks of what we say, our government even protects our right to say it! What a free country we live in!
