Editor,

Are the Four Freedoms that President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered to the nation on Jan. 6, 1941 more prevalent today than then?

The first is freedom of speech and expression everywhere in the world. This, I believe has not really changed, since we still have countries such as North Korea, Cuba, El Salvador and many African countries where there is no justice. If one speaks out against injustices these people are executed or incarcerated; often without due process of law. Further evidence of this can be read in the New York Times or other media.
