- Go to Old Free Speech
Re:
I'm not sure I know anyone in real life. But I know I don't speak all my thoughts out loud. $11.94 sounds like a lot to me.

Re:
Thank you. Certainly there is free speech, but many of us, consciously or otherwise, frame our speech according to expectations or desires. Maybe that makes it less 'free' in some sense. I rethink things all the time.

I'm not sure...I believe that each person has the right to free speech, or writing what he/she feels. At the same time, it is important to remember that some may not agree with the writer's opinion, nor be interested in the subject, and that's okay too. The difference should not influence the writing because there is certain to be someone out there who
will agree, or
will be interested. The saying goes..you can't please all of the people all of the time. I liked this piece, it made me think!

i am the complete opposite - i have to tone down my thoughts - especially here. but i am an open book to people in real life. i can't wait until i start my stand-up act so i can really let go about certain things - sort of George Carlin style. i am not into religion or politics as so many people on this site are - so i never get alot of comments. i pulled in a whopping $11.94 last month - teehee - but i still enjoy it.
