John Stossel of ABC News' "20/20" talks about the amazing benefits of individual freedom and free markets, and what he's learned in his 30-year journey from Portland, Oregon consumer reporter to his current job as ABC's in-house contrarian.

"Liberty," says Stossel, "is what made America great, yet little by little, Americans are giving up that liberty." He discusses:

  • Who are today's American Heroes?

  • Has our fear of technology led us to reject the very freedom that has lifted more people out of poverty than any society anywhere, ever?

  • Might safety regulations actually injure more people than they protect?

Finally, why does the media ceaselessly hype unrealistic fears? Every day newspapers and television warn us of new, unsuspected dangers - from Alar and asbestos to cyclamates to the Audi 500. Stossel compares those risks to life's REAL risks.
