A favorite pastime of Americans is to openly criticize their government. For a number of years, half the population of the country seemed to do nothing but
criticize. Then they did more than criticize: they voted to replace that government, or at least the representatives running it, and did so freely, without
fear. Now the other half of the population openly criticizes its government. Usually this dance continues without much thought given to the very miracle that
they are allowed to criticize the government at all. Twenty years ago in another country, a great multitude of people tried to criticize their own government,
and hundreds of them were killed for their trouble. In that year, similar governments around the world were succumbing to their respective peoples. Twenty
years later, this one remains.
