Speech Free speech, is the power of one person, to say, anything they like, to have an opinion, and to have it heard, even if it is bad, even if it is good, it is the same. Every person has a voice, some speak to much, some can not speak at all. The difference, the price of freedom... fairly distributed among the rich, the weak, the poor, the downtrodden. The censored media, cropping off the parts... they do not care to address, in favor of the ploys they created to make us believe, what is not real anywhere. Critical thinking... has been leashed, and tied to a fire hydrant in the public square. He, or it... is beaten daily, to make sure there is no life left at all, to fight. Believe, be still, be silent... Do as you are told. You will not grow old, as there are too many of you. There is not enough room for us, those that know where the food is kept, underground in caves, in the north, in the south, in the east, and in the west. Go hungry, and starve. It does not matter, who... you are.

If everyone has a voice, and all voices are heard, then we have perfect equality and equity --- a committee that never even gets around to making a recommendation, let alone solving a problem. ~ Realism Intrudes

When free speech is gone, so is democracy. A people without freedom of speech are enslaved, whether they realize it or not. Thanks for the meaning words on frredom of speech, Ann. Smiles ~ Blessings, Bill
