If one steps back and looks at what freedom actually means for us today, it's a strange and limited kind of freedom.

In response, the government has dismantled long-standing laws that were designed to protect individual freedom...

Anti-depressant medications used to treat these "diseases", such as Paxil, Zoloft and Prozac have become household names, not to mention a 20 billion dollar a year racket...
