"We are losing ground on every other issue, though..."

Compared to women who have the right to vote today that they didn't have in 1910?

Compared to Blacks today who have the right to vote but were prevented from so doing by Jim Crow laws into the early 1960's?

Compared to being able to trade stocks over the Internet today versus going to jail for so doing if you made those Internet trades in the 1980's?

Compared to the 55 mile per hour federal speed limit that lasted into the 1980's?

Losing ground?!

Of course, today, you can go to jail for selling a stock if you had information that the public didn't have. It doesn't do you much good to be able to trade stocks if you aren't free to use information.
