Your comment that this is still a free country is one reason we are experiencing many of our problems. There are times when liberty and freedom are better served by recklessly asserting our rights to the detriment of a civilized society. By assiduously asserting our rights others' rights are also preserved. Our rights are unalienable and do not atrophy from non use.
Ronald Reagan might disagree with you over the atrophy part.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction."
