I believe the phrase above is what we should feel about freedom of speech (the concept of being able to speak freely without censorship). This freedom is important because
- Free speech promotes the free flow of ideas essential to political democracy and democratic institutions and limits the ability of the state to subvert other rights and freedoms
- It promotes a marketplace of ideas, which includes (but is not limited to) the search for truth
- It is intrinsically valuable as part of the self-actualization of speakers and listeners
- It is justified by the dangers for good government of allowing its suppression
