In my mind it is same shit different day. Only real difference now is that we have more reporting and anyone anywhere (except parts of Korea) can communicate with anyone else via any medium. So we get to hear of ever horror story, pitfall, issue, or fake issue out there.
However I do think we have more freedoms now than before, we just notice more when people try or do take one away somehow. Not that many years ago I could of called a cop a pig and he would proceed to billy club my forehead until slight retardation set in. No concerns of free speech either, he would just say I deserved it and that would be it. No cell phones to record what happened, no internet to get world outrade, just his word versus mine.
Though on the flip side more and more American have less and less interest in politics and or voting. They allow the nutjobs to get their way until we occassionally wake up and say what the fuck and vote once, then we reset the clock and let them go nutty yet again. It is to bad however that to many people are always thinking what about the children, and what about me instead of what about the constitution and freedoms.
