Freedom of speech in its nature is the same freedom to offend. So far nobody has
yet been punished for talking about the weather.
The right to free speech is the quintessential right of freedom, and it is not
given by nature. We can only defend it by using it. We can choose to keep our
opinions to ourselves not to hurt others unnecessarily, but if it?s done out of
fear against threats, then we have abandoned the fight.
