Be honest - how many of you that live in 'free' societies have, in the past, looked down on people who live in less free societies? Or perhaps thought it was some kind of intrinsic quality of culture / race that some people live in less free societies?

How did your thinking change in the past 10 years when torture, kidnapping, murder, private imprisonment, and restriction of free communications started becoming common practices of our governments?

And to the apologists - political discourse on the internet in less free societies DOES exist - you just don't know how to read any of it.
