Free Speech Defined

The best purpose-statement of freedom of speech I've encountered: "A means by which we identify problems in society, generate solutions to those problems and build consensus to implement the solution."

Thus, when free speech is infringed, society loses the means to fix problems. This is true in any organization. Good leaders build and sustain a culture where we can talk about organizational problems and possible solutions.

About Ben Wilson

Ben Wilson, the brains behind the Postal Marines sci-fi saga, is a history buff with a soft spot for human nature and religion. After serving in the US Army, he's now stuck in the exciting world of IT project management, where he feeds off his customers' frustrations. Ben shares his Northern Virginia home with his wife, three kids, and two vicious attack cats. Don't worry, he didn't sell his oldest to the Core (although he may have considered it). His eldest has flown the nest and started a family of his own.
