Yes and no. We've traded a lot of bad things for a whole other set of bad things. Like, women can vote and so can blacks but then we have the government eavesdropping on our phone conversations. It's really hard to tell. I wasn't alive back then.

Freedom just another word when there's nothing else to loose.
Peace will come only when we have a foot on our enemies throats.
09-10-01 Was the last "green day" we will ever see.
Remember with time all will change for the good or worse.
In all, more laws allow more rights, civil and other. That in itself is a catch 22 in freedom, it does permit us with in guidelines of the law, what we can and cannot do. Therefore as "freedom" depending on your interpretation . No we don't have more. 1906 Since the we have had the crash , depression, 2 WW, 2-4 wars depending on how you feel, coke was in coca cola, Open ranges out west. Ask the cattle industry? I am not allowed toe nail clippers on a public jet?

Yes, Americans do have more freedom now than 100 years ago. Ask any minority or woman at the voting booth.
America is very young as far as countries go, less than 300 years is nothing compared to many nations in the world. Unlike other countries, though, the US as no unifying ethnic, social, religious, or even national identity to support itself. Growing pains are inevitible in such a situation.
That's just my opinion, but I stand by it.

Communism might fail, but not socialism. Look at Northern and Western Europe.

No. ACLU and NAACP have been instrumental along with the DNC in restricting freedoms since, at least,1960
