@hawkeye10,
Rather than comment on why we supposedly are no longer “the Home of the Free”, I’d rather offer one reason why I think America is still “the Home of the Free”:
Because every indication is that we Americans can still speak our minds…even about our government; our leaders; and governmental initiatives…with more impunity than any group of people ever have in the history of the Earth.
That is compelling for me. How about you?
