Ever since the September 11th attacks over a year ago, I’ve been concerned with the way our colleges, government, and even individual citizens have been handling the way people have been dealing with their animosity toward certain people. The right of free speech is a right we take for granted. Even though we are expected to pull together during times of crisis, not everyone does—and this is why the fine line separating our rights from pushing ideals on others, becomes very fuzzy. On one side, we have the people rallying behind our government and their decisions. They hold support rallies and print newspapers with patriotic columns in order to gather support for our cause. They believe that this is how we should utilize our right of free speech. On the other side, we have people who believe that whenever something bad happens to us, we had it coming, and we should stop making a big deal about it.
