Don’t tell me what to SAY! by Geoffrey Alls

Written by Foresight

As a minority, the First Amendment has always held a special place in my heart. The ability to voice and express one’s thoughts when those thoughts are not only unpopular, but hated, has given our country the ability to protect human rights and improve them. This, in turn, has encouraged human rights around the world. The dangers of living in a country that censors speech have been well voiced and well reasoned.
