If this was not a free nation then the KGB would be at your door right now hauling you off to jail (no judge required) remember there was a judge invovled in this. Also if this wasn't a free country this website would be deemed "against party line" and banned, see China. The beautiful part about this country is that there is recourse if you're rights are violated. BTW don't say warped political leanings if you're gonna uplift welfare its had 30 years and hasn't worked yet. Lets try something else instead of trying to keepa broken system.
