Freedom of Speech

If there is going to be freedom anywhere, one of the fundamental building block must be freedom of speech.  Without uninhibited and confident expression, nothing would change.  Ideas and imaginations would remain in their primitive form as thoughts and dreams.  Reality wouldn't be able to touch them.  With that, progression would never exist, and life would be the same each day, for every person.

The Chairman of the Council of Representatives, Khalifa al Dhahrani, met with Ali Ferdan, author of Thought and Word.  This book reinforces the importance of words and dialogue in building and developing a society.

Al Dhahrani stressed that the use of this freedom to express, when used responsibly, is Constitutionally ensured, and is in fact, one of the building block of the reform that is taking place in the Kingdom.
Freedom of speech brings people together.  Specific ideas may not be used, but as long as each is heard and understood, and not dismissed, people tend to be pacified and unite themselves with what is best for everyone.
