FREE SPEECH

There may be none left, at least in the IDEAL sense of the idea of free speech! It may primarily only be available to those who have money, influence and power or control.

For example, just try and buy an advertisement on network TV or in some mainstream magazine that is anti-commercial culture, anti-captialism, anti-fur or for anything that may upset the media's biggest advertisers or the media management's consumer oriented value structure.

Your idea for an anti-establishment advertisement may likely never see the light of day. Today, free speech, in essence, may only be for the privileged few! Is this what our forefathers had in mind when they concocted Freedom Of Speech in the U.S. Constitution?
