RE: What Made America Great? A Response

in #politics8 years ago

Haha, got your flameproof suit on, eh?
Good thoughts. I think most will agree that the US pulled off what really hadn't been done on a wide scale ever. It was certainly a grand and successful experiment in freedom. Of course, it wasn't all roses and there has been plenty of despotism in the years since the Revolutionary War, but it's been a pretty bright spot on the planet in a lot of ways.
I'll go on record stating that I'm mostly proud of what the US accomplished. I'm glad I was born here.
Having said that, I wish i had left here years ago, and avoided the nonsense, distraction and coercion that exists today. It has become a prison/police state that claims ownership of everyone born here, as well as those born of anyone who's a citizen. And they'll track you down across the globe to assert that ownership, if it suits them (the state, US Inc).
