Freedom of Speech

Just a thought I had today while listening to the news. Why is it that we have Freedom of Speech if it's not acceptable to use it with any subject? Why is it okay to use when it's something liberal or racy, but on on anything "old fashion" or conservative??? I believe that all walks of life can have an opinion on what right or wrong, cute of ugly, tasty or nasty, etc, etc, etc. And that all walks of life can express it, and should express it. But shouldn't there have been something added with Freedom of Speech that says something like... "Let people speak it, and don't make it into some big issue if you don't agree", or "Just because you think one way, it doesn't automatically make it right", what about, "persecution is not acceptable when someone is just expressing an opinion".

I know there are many people in the world who are trying to make the world a better place, but why can't it be okay to think differently and just respect the beliefs of others. I may like the color green and want to shout it to the roof tops, but is it right for someone to tell me "NO it's not green, it shouldn't be green, green is all wrong!? I can't stand big old pieces of raw fish, but who am I to tell someone that they shouldn't eat it and that I'm going to picket their sushi eating??

Bottom line... Let's just get along! Right or wrong, fat or thin, sushi or no sushi!!
