We want to do things that we can’t do, for one reason or another, and we complain about every restriction. And yet, we really do have an incredible measure of liberty in this country. Let us count some of the ways. . . .
(1) We have the liberty to possess a Bible, without being executed for it, as happens in North Korea.
(2) We have the liberty to drink the wine of Holy Communion, without receiving 80 lashes of a whip, as happens in Iran.
(3) We have the liberty to criticize our rulers, without being sent to prison or a re-education camp, as happens in the still-Communist countries of Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam, and China, as well as in the recently-communist country of Russia.
