...I still believe in this Country. It costs some foreigners a weeks wages to send a letter across the ocean.
If some foreigners speak against their Government, they can count their selves lucky if only imprisonment is their punishment, often it is death.
In some Countries you are imprisoned, beaten, murdered (serious here) if you choose to follow a Western religion.
Last I checked, in the U.S I can go to my choice of Church.
I do not have to stop at Government checkpoints to go within any area of this Country and do not have to get permission to travel.
Most American homes have indoor plumbing, if you were in the Military you might have been asked by a foreigner, water is really piped into your homes?
Over 50% of the Worlds resources are spent on less than 20% of humanity, us that is.
We still have freedoms and I still believe in our flag.
While our Justice system is not perfect, If I talk badly about our Government and am murdered by extremists, my Country will take them to court and defend me in death, not turn a blind eye.
We have the greatest Military with the best personnel with which I am proud.
And we still have the right to bear arms, we still have the right to bear arms. Like I said, we stumbling, but we have not fell.
I dunno, it is not good to live by fear, If there is enough fear seems to me like the worse happens a lot of times.
Or is fear keeping us armed?

    I do not have to stop at Government checkpoints to go within any area of this Country and do not have to get permission to travel.unless you're on a no fly list, or unless you count registering your car and getting licensed as permission to travel.

    Over 50% of the Worlds resources are spent on less than 20% of humanity, us that is.how much of the world's industry is produced by us, and resources are processed by us?
    We still have freedoms and I still believe in our flag.
    While our Justice system is not perfect, If I talk badly about our Government and am murdered by extremists, my Country will take them to court and defend me in death, not turn a blind eye.We arethe extremists
    We have the greatest Military with the best personnel with which I am proud.
    And we still have the right to bear arms, we still have the right to bear arms. Like I said, we stumbling, but we have not fell.We still have some of the right to bear arms. you're deceiving yourself if you think that "shall not be infringed" still stands.

    There is nothing wrong with fear. Courage is being fearful but still doing what needs done.
