First off, I live in the U.S. I enjoy some of the freedoms that living in the United States affords me. I would probably enjoy the ones that have been stripped away from the citizenry over the past few decades too. I definitely have a love/hate relationship with what used to be our Republic. I am not as deluded as some to think that I could not have a similar or more fulfilling life in another country. Just as some honestly feel that this is the best nation on the planet, there are several others that feel quite the same about theirs.
