Rate the idea of having government sanctioned "Free Speech Zones" or "First Amendment Zones" near political landmarks like the "Liberty (cough) Bell" or a Political rally?
Things like OWS make me realize, closer to 10 is most appropriate nowadays.
is freedom a state of mind? if so what are some examples that represents this.
I’d go further and say that freedom is the no-state of mind.The mind creates its own states and it will react to them and serve them and so becomes bound by them.What is boundless and free is what i refer to as the witness of the mind,the ground of the mind or the nature of mind.The states of mind move across it like clouds move across the sky so it is like the sky which remains peaceful,still and clear and therefore unaffected by anything that passes through it.
I am reading "The Need For Roots" by Simone Weil and this lady couldn’t be more confusing about her points. I’m reading the section about freedom of opinion, but I can’t tell if she believes groups should have freedom of expression or not. Any help?
"There is no such thing as a collective exercise of the intelligence. It follows that no group can legitimately claim freedom of expression, because no group has the slightest need of it."

I am currently doing urgent quest A State of Crisis in monster hunter and I’m having trouble completing it. I use dual swords and/or sword and shield. Can you tell me what to do and what dual sword/Sword and shield to use?
In this quest you have to fight the Shen Gaoren (big crab thingy). My suggestion is to use a fire weapon or dragon (if you have one). Also, I would suggest dual swords instead of sword and shield. Also, it would be smart to get an armor with quake resistance, such as Blango armor (big white snow cat), so the quakes from Shen Gaoren don’t affect you. During this battle you want to hit the legs. Once you hit them enough, they turn bright red, and he falls down. Now go for the face, because it’s weaker than the legs. Just keep repeating this. Once you get to the last area, you can use the ballistas (crossbow things) by getting ballista ammo at the base (from blue supply box, or rack of spears) and then pressing square with the item on the ballista shooter. You can also use the cannons but I don’t suggest it. If he gets close enough, you can hit circle on the big button for the dragonator (big spikes) to pop out. Be careful, it has a short range and he needs to be close enough. I recommend using this when he is attacking so you can cancel out his attack. Remember this quest is kill OR repel the Shen Gaoren, so all you have to do is keep it from destroying the fort until the time runs out, or kill it if you can. If you want you can get his legs bright red, but before he falls, switch to a different leg. This way, when he attacks the fort, you can then switch back to the bright red leg and attack it a bit in order to stagger him and cause him to stop attacking. This way you can maintain your fort integrity much longer. Another helpful thing to do is to bring bombs and bomb him as he enters each area.

America’s obama government is the most dangerous threat to American freedom.
for the rule by police / security state apparatus / dictatorial government?
Witness their response to the OWS pepper spraying. Most responses consists of "when the police say jump.. you ask how high".
if we were so eager for your police state we wouldn’t be warning people about your President and his cronies
Christians.
Muslims.
Zionist Jews.
?
All thoughts welcome.
10 points to the best answer.
But please take the time to explain, with some facts if possible, why you choose the group you do.
Zionist Jews. They celebrate the New world Order and use the WMD Propaganda with AIPAC and CAMERA to do so.
Everyone should see this

And the great American education system…. Scotland, Wales and Ireland are NOT part of England!!
You obviously don’t know much about the world.

In the book From wealth to power by Zakaria What connection does he make to american concept of freedom?
Zakaria’s books include The Future of Freedom and The Post-American World. The first argues that what we think of as democracy in the Western world is actually "liberal democracy," a combination of liberal constitutionalism and participatory politics. The protection of liberty and the rule of law actually preceded mass elections by centuries in Western Europe. Countries that try to simply adopt elections without laying these preceding conditions end up creating not "liberal" democracy but illiberal democracy, like Putin’s Russia. His second book, published in 2008, before the financial crisis, argued that the most important trend of our times is the "rise of the rest," the economic emergence of China, India, Brazil and other countries that are rapidly gaining ground. Zakaria argued that their new-found economic power was altering the structure of global economics, politics, and culture. The phrase "post-American world," has now passed into popular discourse.
After the 9/11 attacks, in a Newsweek cover essay, "Why They Hate Us," Zakaria argued that Islamic extremism was not fundamentally rooted in Islam, nor could it be claimed a reaction to American foreign policy. It had its roots in the stagnation and dysfunctions of the Arab world. Decades of failure under tyrannical regimes, all claiming to be Western-style secular modernizers, had produced an opposition that was anti-Western, religious, violent, and increasingly globalized. Since the mosque was a place where people could gather and Islam an institution that was outside the reach of censorship, they both provided a context for the growth of the political opposition. Zakaria argued for an inter-generational effort to create more open and dynamic societies in Arab countries, and thereby helping Islam enter the modern world.[16]
Lets say you could not:
~ Go to the same malls as white Americans.
~Go to the same quality schools that white Americans go to.
~ Having signs outside of businesses that say "no Filipinos allowed.
Do you think you would still want to fight for American freedom ,or would you do what Muhammad Ali did?
If I was a Chinese American I would fight for USA if drafted. I wouldn’t violate the law. It’s illegal to not serve your country when you are called upon duty. I am Chinese and citizen of the People’s Republic of China! But I went to school in the US (Hawaii) for 2 years to get a Masters Degree after I finished my Bachelors in Shanghai. I have been to US mainland too because many of my relatives owns buyer stocks in the US and my uncle used to show me the ropes to learn how to invest. China owns most of US debts, Stocks, and bonds. China also sells the most products in the US. So China is always affected everytime y’all go to war because you borrown money from us since US is broke!
If I lived in the US I would easily serve. I’m a reserve for the Chinese Army and if my country calls me to report to war I easily would. One man like Ali or you, or one race cannot be above the law. The law requires people to serve and you cannot change the law just because you have a personal excuse or because you are black.
