re: "freedom will go the way of Nazi Germany or Stalin's Russia"

IMHO, in the United States, there is more freedom to more people (even percentage wise), than any other point in our history. There is greater opportunity now, for more people than any other period in the Nation's history.

Fifty years ago, my grandfather couldn't own property in CA because he wasn't a citizen. He couldn't become a citizen because he wasn't white.

An east indian brought suit because he was denied citizenship (because of race), and proved in court that he was caucasian - the court denied his petition responding that even though he proved he was white, he wasn't the type whiteman the authors of the law had in mind.
