I Believe I believe that anyone should have the right to express themselves freely, whether it’s someone wanting to protest a war or making marijuana legal. In several countries throughout the world, these rights are not given fully to the people. I don't think that it is right to take away the voice of the people; everyone should be able to have an opinion, as long as their opinion makes sense. Obviously is someone is protesting pro death penalty then they should not be listened to, you don't need to kill someone to make them learn a lesson. Either put them in prison for life or put them in some other program to make them regret whatever wrong they did. To kill someone even for killing others is not right, even if they were a serial killer like Ed Gein, Ted Bundy, David Berkowitz, John Gacy, or even Jeffrey Dahmer. If you kill them, that’s no better than what they did. Killing is wrong, inhumane, and should never have to happen.....unless it’s someone like Muammar Gaddafi. In Gaddafi's case, it was essential to the progress of the world for him to die. If tyrants like Gaddafi remain alive in the world with that much power, they must be eradicated or have all of their powers taken away. Rulers like that is one of the cases where someone should have their freedom of speech and freedom of expression stripped away, even if it’s at the cost of taxpayer's dollars. I believe in freedom of speech but honestly, if you're going to abuse the freedom and cause the world harm with it, then you don't deserve it. In any situation, freedom of speech can be a good or a bad thing depending of who's using it. Freedom of speech is a wonderful ability and can be used to do great things. In conclusion to this essay about freedom, I would like to say that freedom of speech is a very large part of my life and everyone around me. If I did not have freedom of speech then I would most likely be somewhere a lot worse than I am today, and I would most likely not be happy there. Some form of freedom is essential to any form of government and should be had by every single person in the world.
