Admirable sentiments but now outdated. Like other past siboleths such as an Englishmans word is his bond and his home is his castle. As we've seen, all to often the perpetrators of vile rhetoric are too keen to turn it into physical reality. Freedom of speech was never really much of a reality anyway, so it's no big deal if managed properly.
You are of course correct in your evaluation. I,(we), was quite happy in my rose tinted world in the erroneous belief that we had reached the zenith of social existence but it is, as you say, a figment of our imagination.
I now look forward to the knock on the door from the boys in trench coats for even suggesting that I should be free to express my views.
