Freedom: the condition of being free; the power to act or speak or think without externally imposed restraints
I used to be under the impression that the U.S.A was the home of the brave and the land of the free. Can't we be sued for false adverstisement? The patriot act is like the fine print on the contract that says "Yes! You! You're free in this country as a U.S. Citizen."
Then in font size .001 there lies the Patriot act that most American's aren't even aware of what is stated in it. I work in an environment that I must explain occasionally the reason that I can/can't do something is because of the patriot act. 95% of the time when I use this as my 'ammo', the customer has absolutely no knowledge of what that entails... not even remotely.
Hopefully it won't be in our life-time that we have T.V.'s that are pre-programmed to only watch certain channels and instruct us what we're supposed to do each day. Anyone who hasn't read '1984' by George Orwell should read it. If you haven't noticed that we've practically lost all of our freedom's by this point, this will be a huge eye opener.
