Freedom of speech is your right to speak freely. It falls under the broader wing of freedom of expression, which encompasses freedom of speech among other forms of expression, like art, dance, or writing about a head scout's detailed passion for the joys of man/boy love...

I seem to recall a figure more like 6 million than 1.8 million. Either way, it's a gross misappropriation of funds for which some director's head ought to have rolled. I wonder what the Americans here think about this being called 'art'.
