Well Wildstar, you'd probably be a good citizen of Australia from whose books I borrowed the quote.

Two points to consider about being a citizen and free expression..

_participation in the electorial process of both ideas and of representatives is poor in the US. We're lucky to get voter turnout of 50% in most cases. Yet voting is the key responsibility of being a citizen.

Last.. things haven't changed much from one observer's view in the 1800's.

""I know of no country in which there is so little true independence of mind and freedom of discussion as in America."
-- Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America (1835)
