Hi, here it is, my idea about what democracy means. To me it means having the right to work, receive health care, and education free from harm. It means to enjoy free speech as long as that speech is not harmful or hate-promoting.

We say that we pride ourselves on being democratic, that we hold human rights in high esteem, and that we enjoy free speech. Well, it seems that it all depends on who you are and how you want to express yourself.

For instance, people in this country seem to make an awful fuss about "dirty" talk or talk about sex. Yet talking "dirty" or about sex in the english language enjoys a long tradition from the old english forbears, and neither "dirty" talk nor talk about sex has ever killed anyone.

So lets really protect and enjoy our free speech and our freedom of expression and put away the guns. Lets have a little fun and enjoy expressing our thoughts in dramatic, colorful and exciting ways. Lets fight the good fight to keep our freedom of speech.
