"Is America a freere, less surveiled society now?"

Don't be silly, things have never been better. Happiness and Joy abound in all corners of the Land Of The Free as well as Gratitude and Love toward our Benevolent Protectors. We all enjoy paying taxes to support our American Way Of Life.

And I'm not just saying that because of the microphone planted in the lamp next to me by our capable Homeland Security agents.

Let celebrities make all the medical endorsements they want - its a kinder, gentler (albeit slower) way to raise the planet's IQ while lowering the population than declaring Open Season on people every leap year.
