It's sad.
It's sad that people that are oppressed are more free than those that mock freedom. At least they understand the true meaning of freedom.
The rest of the world thinks the highlight of freedom is the ability to purchase the caffinated drink of their choice.
You're right. We in America and in Europe and Canada are so spoiled and so insulated from reality that we've forgotten the meaning of freedom and what it costs to get it and keep it. Those people have not forgotten.
I'd take one of those people into a fight with me over a thousand Ward Churchills .
