Today is far less vicious than it was when I was growing up. They would drag you outta your house and dust your ass off if they wanted to. If it hadn't been for the civil rights upheavals of the 60's and 70's and the crusading journalism we'd all be slaves by now. We have it easy compared to the old days lemme tell you!

In a convoluted way there is alot of truth to what you posted. Many are complaining about loss of freedom...loss of free speech when in fact more freedom exits than in the past history of the US and certainly there is more freedom of speech than in the past history of the US.
