[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is much easier for people living in dictatorships without free press and fair elections to accept. Thankfully we are not there yet. We need to value true freedoms - democracy with checks and balances, freedom of speech, free press, and independent branches of legislative, executive and judicial government and ability to pursue happiness. As for living in dictatorships - Westerners have little idea how terrifying that would be. Where viable opposition and their supporters are either jailed, murdered or tortured - where critics of government can be sent to jail or re education camps and where competitive businesses are shut down if they don’t belong to cronies. [/quote] Uh South America is Western and know dictatorships. Try talking with an Argentinian who went through the Dirty War (military dictatorship).[/quote]
