Freedom of travel. It's much more scrutinized if not flat out hindered than before.
See that's one that I thought had improved. We are completely free to move everywhere now (inside of the country.) Do you mean into and out of the country?
In what way do you see the freedom reducing?

I'm not sure how far back you'd have to go to find the ability to move around within the country hindered - I've never seen that personally, but I've only been here for 40 years.
I'm talking about internationally.

But, I don't think the flag should be banned or made illegal.
Is there some political group of note that is actually attempting to ban it? I know companies are and I know that states are taking it down. I'm sure fringe political groups are trying to ban it, but they always have. Someone is trying to ban the US flag and coffee too, but they are never going to see it get to a vote. But is there someone actually potentially going to get this to a vote? I feel like that's the feeling that people have and maybe I'm missing some amount of force behind this but the impression that I have is only that its localized use is being curtailed, at a local level by local oversight (state or smaller level.)
Making it illegal is foolish and without precedence. We can fly the British flag and that could imply that we wish to rejoin the crown.

Okay, then yes, I agree that in the last 70+ years that freedom has reduced significantly. But more than 100 years ago, I'm not confident that that is true . Could be, but I have no idea if there were difficulties moving over borders in 1800 or 1850 or 1900. My impression is that in those eras that international travel was harder and less free. I could totally be wrong, but that's my impression.

The power is with the people, if they choose to exercise it.

The probelm is convincing others that they need to wield the power. Although for certain circles and certain topics that is not really an issue.

But what are the 2 biggest problems in this area? Ignorance and apathy? Well, I don't know and I don't care.

Ha, It's not either, it's both sound right.
