I've lived and visited in many countries. No other country on earth has such a focus on free speech as the USA. And while I believe this is one of the best assets we have, I also believe it has made us almost impossible to agree on issues as a united country. That really came to my reality during the last administration when "alternate facts" became a jingle.
So much of this is politics.
You could make a law where it is illegal to place a loaded gun in your mouth because of safety concerns and half the country would walk around with a loaded gun in their mouths to protest. Essentially, this is what is happening now.
It's all a pathetic view of freedom of speech. To disrespect free speech at this level, to literally thumb one's nose at free speech may end up playing a part in ending it.
My friend. One of the things that struck me during Obama's initial run for office and I thought interesting and got to say I agreed then - - I agree now. - He said one of the most asked questions when he was out on the trail across the world. He said the most frequent question he was asked was - - - - Is AMERICA as divided as it seems to be ? - -I thought what a great question. Because whether we want to admit it or not - -AMERICA IS a very divided country right now. Very Susceptable to being in a world of hurt from other Countries. I love our freedom of speech , people need to be able to express their thoughts , beliefs , and feelings. No matter who you are - - where you are , your not going to have 100 % in agreement. Who's really to say if this person or that person is in the wrong on their positions , certainly not me. I can only go on my beliefs , my standards and views. I agree with you , not saying what your saying is wrong by any means - just saying I don't think this country will ever believe 100 % with one another.
I love my country , and also and so proud to have THAT freedom of Speech - -freedom of expression all of what this Country stands for. As far as the COVID goes I've got my feelings about all of it too , won't be accepted by some and accepted by others, just one of the things that I don't think like you say is ever going to be made possible to reach that 100 % agreement on many issues we face ever more likely then not. - -That's where the divided part comes in effect and in reality I'm some concerned for this country and where we are at right now - -but that's a whole different topic my friend. You have a great day I'm done rambling on and on and making no sense lol.
