i donno, ask the French. they were there first.
As for the US being a free country, I think we have less restricting laws on firearms than just about anywhere else in the world. I think we have some opressive laws on drug use and pornography. I think the oppressive laws we do have, and the choices we lack, are by far made up by in the vast increase in standard of living that we have over other first world countries. for example, the price of comodities like petrol, the wide varities and availability of luxury items at grocery stores, such as scented quilted paper to wipe our butts with. comparativey, we are a nation of hedonists.
I think our race riots are not any worse than the race riots in the UK, and are certainly better than the **** that goes on in places like Israel and Serbia.
I think our poor are in general better off than most peoples poor. People like to poo-poo on the US, and on our forign policies, and our domestic situation. all in all, i think its pretty danm good. I think we do more good in the international community than would be done if we were not there doing it. And I dont really care that our election system is screwed up. there are enough political extremists around here, on every side of an issue, that things tend to work them selves out without more moderate people having to worry about it. We can sit back and rest assured that there are enough rabble-roUsers out there to fight the good fight for us.
man, I cant even start thinking about how good we have it, without getting all warm and fuzzy inside.
