"It continues to amaze me how people will gripe about "losing" their freedoms in America, with the one most often whined about being freedom of speech. To date, no one I have questioned has been able to tell me one single freedom they had five years ago that has been cut off." I too often find myself Flabbergasted out how some otherwise intelligent adults ,that i know, cant make the distinction between their personal desires and their "rights". A co-worker of mine, who is a compulsive downloader of poser free stuff, actually seriously asserted that his right to "the pursuit of happiness" was being violated by the evil cable companies that wont provide him high speed internet access at the same price as his dial up service. Sad.
