Freedom of speech is the foundation of a healthy society, One does not have to agree with what is said, in its content, context or meaning. Strangling the ability to voice ones opinion is detrimental to the values of a vibrant discourse of ideas.
It takes a brave soul confident soul to have an opinion and an even braver one to voice it.
Freedom of Speech scares many because of pre conceived ideas or ideals. Many will deride those brave enough to stand up and say something, yet will be at a loss when asked to voice their own opinion.
