Freedom of speech?

Mark Twain wrote "It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them."

Perhaps it applied when he penned those words, but I doubt whether such a sentiment could be applied to todays world. It seems that everywhere you go there is someone spouting their opinions and their right to express them. Anyone it seems is allowed to not only have their opinions, but also express them in any way they choose as long as it is according to the golden rule.
Freedom of speech is interpreted today as being able to say whatever you want. In fact it has been extended to cover other ways in which to express ones thoughts and beliefs so that it could be rephrased as the freedom of action. Freedom of conscience has been interpreted as the freedom to choose what is right or wrong in your own mind to the point that we now have a million different ways in which to frame our morality, hence the marginalisation of absolute truth. How can be curb what basically constitutes a move towards complete anarchy?

The interesting part of Twains phrase is the beginning where he states that it is by the goodness of God that we have these three things. Today however it seems the third is sadly lacking. Prudence is something that is very rare in todays society. In fact I suspect that most people find the word prudence to have negative connotations, and certainly is not a trait that many people aspire to have and exhibit.

The natural consequence of kicking God out of the 21st Century is that we will suffer the foolishness of our actions. Wisdom is left in the wake of the death of God and prudence along with it. It seems there is a lunatic on every street corner proclaiming their version of life and personal rights and few people exercising restraint.
You may speak about and be an activist for any cause it seems except for the one that champions the one true God of heaven and earth. If that be the case then you will be vilified for breaching the one exception to the rule of freedom of speech, and that is "God doesn't belong in public dialogue"

I believe however that removing God from the public dialogue will prove to be the worst thing that man has done this century.
