Freedom of Speech

I think freedom of speech is a very under-appreciated amendment. Since Americans have had it for so long makes us take it for granted sometimes. Seeing a country like North Korea gives me a better understanding of how cool freedom of speech is. I don't think there should be limits to freedom of speech, as long as the person speaking is who he/she says he/she is. People also have the freedom to not listen to what someone is saying.

I like the point you made about people having the right to ignore what other people say, Drew. Is this enough to protect those who may be seriously hurt by what others say about them?

I agree that Freedom of speech is very under-appreciated. So many people take it for granted and dont know that it is abused a lot.
