I've always thought that freedom of speech and thought (which I so much value) is the big advantage of democracy. However,in in this respect, the democracies of today are even worse than the communism of my young days.

So true. We should appreciate our freedoms and realize what a gift they are. We are not in a position to take them for granted.
