What color is the sky in your world? Besides we're not the _only_ freedom-loving people in the world. We just emphasize different freedoms. (We love freedom so much that we make sure our corporations have the freedom to sue people in other countries. We love freedom so much we'll take it away from people in order to give it to them, even though they didn't ask us to.) Then again... Imagine if the average american newspaper had a topless woman on page 3. [snip] > I've been thinking of this myself.
