Everybody favours free speech in the slack moments when no axes are being ground.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's obvious that I come down on the side of free speech for anybody's work.
For free-speech principles to be reinforced and free-market ideas to win the day, more people are going to have to stand up and be heard.
We live in a free world, so everyone can say whatever.
You know, everybody believes in free speech until you start questioning them about it.
If you start to just aim for what the audience wants to hear, you're already hamstrung because you don't have any freedom.
Free speech is the cornerstone to every right we have.
Free speech is not to be regulated like diseased cattle and impure butter. The audience that hissed yesterday may applaud today, even for the same performance.
Free speech may be a right, but only by using it as a force for good in the world do we make it a virtue.
Stand-up comedy and comedy in general is the ultimate form of free speech, because you get to poke holes in all the pretentious bubbles politicians and pundits and popes and pretenders try to float over our heads.
Free speech gives us the ability to react vigorously with effective arguments and expose the weakness and misdirection of the other side's claims.
