It means so much more than being able to speak your mind - it means being able to hear another view, that makes you boil - and showing that person the respect you would want to have.
Time has a way of helping us find truth and seeing falsehoods. There are those who once felt the world was flat - you would fall off its end. They said we would never put a man on the moon, and yet there were those who once wrote "all men are created equal."
You can always just walk away or ignore any statements that upset you; noboby is forcing you to listen.
Thank God for free speech. I am glad I live in a country that allows its people to speak their minds, even if that mind may be "shaky," they can still speak it.
