What technologies currently exist for receiving a/psuedononymous message?
With Mixmaster, sending mail, posting news, and even blog posting are
possible, However, receiving replies securely or, better, holding a private
conversation is difficult or impossible. Best bet seems is to encrypt and
spam somewhere very public? Ugly, ugly. No technological method, just a few
trust me remailers. Other options?
Mixminion offers a basic building block called SURBs, Single User Reply 
Blocks.

There is a draft spec. for a nymserver which uses this building block 
but I've seen no news of an ongoing implementation:

Mixminion installation still indicates that anonymity is still not 
available, due to traffic levels still being too low. The mailing list 
discussed current traffic levels recently:

Does anyone know of a reference implementation for Stefan Brands's
digital certificate scheme? Alternatively, does anyone have an email
address for Brands so I can ask him myself? (I haven't gotten anything
back from ZKS's contact us address. But I don't know if Brands is
still at ZKS.)

He started a new company called Credentica.

Not even close to the US situation. Get a clue.

A simple example, read Tim May's continued expressions on the state of the US.

Now read this about Cuba:

Now, tell me that you still think the US is less free.

 Repeat after me: Freedom is something that is defined differently by
 every human being.


So Cuban's choose oppression and no free speech, in exchange for freedom of 
slavery to credit-card spending on luxury items, employment and robber 
barons?

Have you been to Cuba?
