So how 'free' is to have to show an ID in order to get alcohol or cigarettes or even having access to certain concerts? As far as I know, the USA is the only democratic country where people have to prove who they are all the time in order to get such things as alcohol, tobacco, etc. I wouldn't call that 'free', would you?
A country where people say 'African American' and 'Native American' because they think, for some strange reason, that the words 'black' and 'Indian' are wrong, and if you don't do so you can be sued ... how free is that?
