wondering

As I begin writing this I am in a quandary. To ponder free speech and what that actually means and how to protect it and why it is important in the first place.  Well, I believe religious freedom might be at the heart of it. The idea that we are sovereigns in the nation under God. My freedom being God given. Freedom of speech means I can say all that. There is no king of us. We left England behind a long time ago. Anyway. To be curious and to wonder who has any right to censor anyone else. That is not the country I was born into originally. I heard recently that the 2nd amendment to the American constitution was written to protect the 1st amendment. Free speech. We must question why free speech is so very important.
