Some say..." The world has gone mad!" What do you all say, and why?

So much freedom of speech, yet so few carry it through. The lost civillians?

Update:

None of us are working together, there's no trust. What's left for our children's future?

    do we have freedom of speech in America? no....we are governed and controlled by laws and regulations. Freedom....huh....what a joke nobody can smoke IN A BAR where I am from....also you go spatin off at the mouth you will get in trouble. you are free to speak nicely in favor of everything....I think that term of word should be thrown away no one know what free means....freedom does not mean you must pay taxes...you must pay for a fishing license, you must work 80 hours to provide for you family. 50 years ago it was not like this according to my grandfather....freedom is a word that has been twisted and bent to benifit politicians and lawyers.

    FREEDOM means 1. ability to act freely: a state in which somebody is able to act and live as he or she chooses, without being subject to any undue restraints or restrictions

    live in freedom

    religious freedom

    2. release from captivity or slavery: release or rescue from being physically bound, or from being confined, enslaved, captured, or imprisoned

    DOES THIS APPLY TO ANYONE IN AMERICA THAT IS NOT FILTHY RICH?..............I didnt think so....

    The art of speech has been challenged with an art of making it look crazy......The world has changed but the people on it have not.

    We do have freedom of speach,Politicans don't always hear us.---- Also some of our freedoms are abused by freedom of speach, to spread proaganda, and smutt calling it entertain-ment. The lost element is "SELF RESPECT"
