Free Speech is very costly...

The problem with free speech is that if you advocate for it for yourself, then you must hold it true for others as well, and some times that can raise emotions in us that aren't pretty!  For instance, the email that I spoke of a few days ago, that attempts to ellicit hatred towards Muslims...I myself founf it to be quite offensive, and have written back to the "sender" my feelings on the subject.  At one time I may have not done this...I may have instead had a drink, bit my nails and kicked the cat! (of course not!!!) however someone might find that offensive too, as I do! So this person, and all her other recipients might possibly react negatively to what I have to say, and that will be okay too...That's free speech!
It's when free speech starts to cost lives, that it becomes too expensive for me to tolerate.  When families, and villages, and countries are ravaged with the notion being that somehow those peoples thoughts,  faiths and values need to be extinguished we called it "colonization" but I thought we had learned from all that tragedy. 
The reality may just be that "He who shouts the loudest wins", so we musn't be quiet in the face of injustice, even if we are Christians...Jesus shouted! Below is a refresher of the Charter.
