This is why I'm glad I live in the U.S.... No matter what anyone says, the Government can't infringe on our right to free speech. They can try, but they're going to lose. Other nations don't usually have these provisions in their Constitutions.

Since you are in here posting anti-admin comments all the time, how has your free speech rights been limited?

so spying/intercepting your email/phone calls by any telecom, that was probably strong armed at a minimum without legal due process is not stepping on your (all of us) right(s)? What exactly do you consider stepping on, I am curious? The people have allowed them, in their belief that they are being protected. Except for a few news broadcasts, where is the uproar? The real problem is that the so called democracies around the world are chipping slowly away at the rights of it's citizens, and for the most part they are like sheep. Blocking a website, just because a judge says so is censorship, plain and simple, Peace
