At this point, we can still object to some things the government does, but at the risk of being placed on the U.S. Government's Official No-Fly List, among other punishments they have available . Just ask the prominent Princeton University professor who had that problem after he disagreed with Bush 2 on several issues. Finally, they allowed him to fly, but he was told openly that his luggage would be "trashed" and it was. WE NO LONGER HAVE TRUE FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bush 2 has taken it away.

Are you sure that you Americans have true freedom of speech?
I'm sorry but I think it is an illusion that you all believe you have. But i'm sure that if any belief you had, which did not toe the party line, became popular then you would soon find out that in actual fact - no you don't!
We in the West think we are so free and able to do what we want when in reality, you do not realise because of your upbringing, just how regimented we all are!
Just question some of your own views and question the way you formulate your beliefs and you will understand what i mean!
A good example is Christianity and its lesser grip on society than in the past. The Church does not have any political input or power any more. 100 years ago society in general attended church. How many do now?
