The concept of Freedom of speech is misunderstood. Speech is executed by a part of your body.That is mouth.Similarly hands are also part of the body. Hands also must have freedom of action ,without which you don't have full freedom. Can you sling mud on every people to show your hands have freedom? You can't.Similarly freedom of speech too has restrictions.I would like to caution the writer the consequence of the movement of the tongue in regard to its functions in spelling out something.The most ungrateful and dangerous part of the body is the tongue.Can any part of your body taste and enjoy the food other than the tongue?When this damn tongue utters offensive words and find safe shelter within the precinct of the teeth, it is the innocent teeth which grind the food and make delicious to tongue that receive the punch by the offended as the return.Recurrence of this type of act finally result in the loss of the entire teeth. Without the teeth the tongue can have no safety as it can't move out. This may be sufficient for awareness. If you are a person of pretend to be sleeping category nothing of any sort will CORRECT you including the five percepts of the lord Buddah.
