One of the advantages of living in a democracy is that one is 121 to say what he thinks. Privately or 122 , one may criticize the President, the Government, or 123 . In some cities there are 124 special places where people come to listen to speeches 125 all kinds of questions. In London, England, people 126 Hyde Park, where speakers 127 them on various topics. No one 128 to stop such speakers. We feel that 129 their ideas are good then they 130 . If the ideas are bad, no one will pay much attention to them 131 . Not long ago one of these speakers was 132 an emotional speech in Hyde Park. He was criticizing the members of the government 133 .

A large crowd of people had gathered and had begun to 135 traffic. At that moment a policeman came 136 and said:
"All right, gentlemen! Let's 137 for the traffic. All those in favor of burning down the House of Commons, move to the right. All those in favor of burning down Buckingham Palace, move to the left. Now move aside, one way 138 ."
139 the listeners walked away, and soon the speaker was 140 .
