Day 115: Freedom of speech

Hi again,
Today I am thankful for freedom of speech. We are able to say what we like and not have fear of being jailed for it. We can write what we like and not be told to take it down. We can complain when we want to if we want to. There are countries around the world where freedom of speech is practically non existant. People are unable to share their point of view on something if it isn't considered something that they can give an opinion on. We can speak out against the government if we have a problem with them and we do not get in trouble for it. We can have blogs and share what ever we want with in reason (as long as it's legal) and not have to worry about censorship or getting in trouble. People may disagree with our point of view but we can still say what we want. I think some may actually not realize what a privilage it is to have freedom of speech. Yes we still need to be careful what we say if we care about how we affect others but we can share what we want to share. So this is why I am thankful for freedom of speech
