Well, this really depends on a lot more factors not addresses here. For instance...........when the world's population has grown as ours has, and communications have sped up to the "instant" point, then we can no longer tolerate as many trivial freedoms as we did in the past.

Frivilous liberties cannot be allowed to impede our development as a progressive state. Both Hillary and Obam have shown their understanding of this as evidenced by their committments to establishing universal healthcare and and responsible environmental control.

Communism/Socialism/Libralism, or whatever term one chooses to use, is the only reliable method of controlling these vital needs.
