It includes the right to the most basic forms of expressing oneself. Losing this constitutionally guaranteed fundamental right will mean that you will have to get permission from a loony right-wing for everything -- what you say, where you say it and how you speak, what you sing, where you sing, how you dance, what you wear, how you express love and show respect, what you cook and eat, what your home or temple looks like.
