I stated that freedom was lost in 1968.

More like 1868 as the aftermath of the War of Northern Aggression ... :~)


Is this a good time to point out that more than half of the adult
citizens
of the United States were prohibited from voting (the flaming liberal
state of Wyoming excepted) until well into the 20th Century?

I suppose for a socialist or a fascist the loss of power by state
governments might be considered a loss of freedom. For the
rest of of, it is a personal matter. I'll agree also that the minority
who previously enjoyed freedom became less free. The Nazis and
Baathists became less free when they lost power too.
