Free Speech

There is yet another Presidential Debate scheduled for this evening I believe and as election day draws nearer and nearer, I am reminded of a quote I came across a little while ago.

"It's a funny thing about free speech: It can't be just for your political friends. If freedom means anything, it is the one valuable gift you have to give to your worst enemies, in order to keep it for yourself."

I truly believe that many people do not fully understand the concept of freedom. If they did they would respect it more.
