What freedom do you value most and why?
Mine is to be able to put bumper stickers on our cars, and whistling.

1. Well, I used to like freedom of speech.
Until the Patriot Act.
Unless you are posting from jail, you never lost your freedom of speech. Just look at all the hate posted towards Bush for years and not one of you goons got in trouble for it.

9. The freedom to be left alone
To live as far outside conventional society as possible.
A good system allows oddballs and misfits to drop out of it.
Yet you support a political party that will never leave any of us alone. They want to dictate everything we do in our lives, whether it's putting salt on our french fries, or what health insurance plan we buy. To top it off they want their hands in our pockets and make sure we don't have too much money.

12. Too bad we have to keep fighting for freedoms of any kind. Post-Patriot Act, we have
to start over again...
Freebies and freedom are not the same thing. I know in your primitive minds freedom means that you not only can do certain things, but the govt finances what you choose to do. I also would like to know what freedom did the patriot act take from you?
