I truly am grateful for the liberties i have to post in forums and as a blogger. I had a friend from China I spoke to through Second Life and I found myself cutting my jokes short. A simple one-liner about governments in general could have landed her in jail for all I know.

Lionel, it would be wise for all of us to be aware that not everyone is as free as we may be to express ourselves. As these statistics point out, we all have a way to go in thinking freely. Thanks for the reminder!!
