Freedom of Speech

Freedom of speech, in my mind, is great. Although many people take it for granted, many others feel strongly about it. Many don't realize how lucky we are to have this. Some countries, like North Korea, threaten the lives of people who speak poorly of Kim Jong il. We are limited in a sense, yet we still are able to take advantage of this freedom. Without people speaking their minds in today's world, we would have no outside opinions. Even in the republican debate, the only way one will stand out above all the others is the way they speak their mind whether it's a compliment or a mean phrase against another member.

I agree with you 100%. We are really lucky to have the freedom to say whatever we want. If for some reason we lost the freedom of speech then many people will probably be in jail for saying someing wrong. Many people do take advantage of this freedom and we are lucky that we still have it today. I think we should have limitations but people should know when to say what and when not to say something. The freedom of speech is just an overall great feature about America.
