Week 3b- Free Speech?

Americans do have the right to say what they believe. The problem is that sometimes when a person says what they believe, they are shunned for it. That makes people afraid to always say what they believe. Though, there are times when people take the freedom of speech for granted or they take it too far. There are just some things that shouldn't be said. There are things that people say that is very offensive to others. Like with Don Imus, he argued that he had the freedom of speech. He did have the freedom to say what he wanted. But what he said was very insulting the women's basketball team. Imus got fired for saying it. I just think that Americans take the freedom of speech too far sometimes and they need to realize when it is time to be quiet about a subject.
