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 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.

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
why don’t they go choke on their tofu burgers.
overloaded with liberals
from just about everything rather than making smart decisions for themselves?
(examples being nosmoking bans, transfat bans, attempt to ban fast food etc?)
Isn’t pushing these sorts of nanny state policiies the antithesis to freedom?
They don’t. Liberals just don’t live in a black and white world.
Smoking is harmful to everyone. If a person wants to smoke and risk lung cancer,that is his/her choice. But, the people sitting at the next table do not have the choice of inhaling his smoke. Banning outside smoking is going too far.
Transfat is not good for anyone and not necessary. You are free to eat as much as you like.
‘Nanny State" must be the new scary buzzword from FOX news.
i’m looking for NON documentary movies that have to do with freedom, similar to v for vendetta. got any good suggestions? 
why would anti-communist movies offend me?
Farenheit 451 and 1984

California is 48 as far as "freedom" goes. I think it is 50 in terms of pro business. This state is turning into a disaster
Personally, I think "separation of church and state" is nothing but crap created by a bunch of whiny atheists and needs to be abolished.
And exactly how would being forced to live under a religious government be "Freedom"? Why did they leave England in the first place? To get away from state mandated religion! This country was established on freedom. And that includes freedom of/from religion. If you don’t like it, there are plenty of countries that have religion run governments, and you are welcome to go there and be under their thumb.
200 Christian worshipers were arrested by Communist police in China this past weekend.
Churches, temples, mosques are allowed in China, but Chinese Communist Party install secret informants in each of the religious gathering to report back to government. Is freedom to practice religion a lie in the Communist China?
Practice all you want, but don’t prosthelytize.
Religion is kept extremely private in China and these Christians you speak of were demonstrating in a public area for the sake of doing so.
Wouldn’t get arrested here but in China, you bet.
