# 81... Freedom of speech and thats about it. Most of us on here would have been picked up quite a time ago now by some of the anti government statements that have been made. We have that privilige and thats about it. On the other hand you see countries who dont have that right and the government heads are accused by us (being un- democratic) of suppressing the masses especially when they have what could be called a pogrom picking up people etc. sometimes these that they are picking up are criminals and other undesirable types. The general public living in some of these countries are quite happy with the system as there is little crime(unlike the western world) and the only ones who have fear are the criminal types, and if one lives right they have nothing to fear.I would think although have never been there Fiji would be such a case.
