Freedom of Speech(es)

It's become more apparent to me over my last few months in New York about how much people speak their minds over here. What's even more astonishing is how the rest of us just listen or ignore those people.

Almost every other day there is someone on my train speaking against some outrage or asking for help somehow. More often than not is someone asking for a handout now and again.

But it's the way that each plight is a different one. Just today there was an outrage at the current state of affairs in the world. It's like the subway is their own personal soapbox or something.

Personally, I thought the speaker was being obnoxious, so I just moved cars.
