Freedom of Speech
The ability to speak freely is not afforded to members of every society in the world. In fact, true FREE SPEECH is a rare right. In the United States, free speech has been under fire for some time now. Those who speak of things in a way contrary to prevailing beliefs by certain officials or political parties have been attacked verbally or physically. Certain media have also been affected and often say things consistent with the ruling party line rather than the truth. Whether from the right or from the left, commentary is often angled to match the perspective of the commentator rather than the actual, full truth.
