Freedom of Speech

Freedom of speech is something that I don't think about that much, but it's a big part of my life. When asked what I feel about freedom of speech, I think of what I would do without it, or better phrased what I wouldn't be able to do without it. When I look at other countries, it's ridiculous to think that only people with power can say what they feel. Without freedom of speech I feel like a lot of people wouldn't be as opinionated as they are, because they would just be so used to not being able to say what they think. Many good ideas come out of freedom of speech. It's good to hear what other people have to say because not everyone thinks the same way. Without freedom of speech this country wouldn't be the same as it is today.
