So here is a question for the US citizens. Could you please name here some things you are free (allowed) to do in the States that other people (say EU or even Russian ones) don't?
People in the US talk about being free, people in much of the rest of the world don't talk about it but just live it. There are far fewer restrictions on individuals in many other countries and certainly less interest in bothering individuals who do not endanger the livelyhoods of the politicians.

The tragedy is that what was a slow erosion of rights since 1776 become a tusnami under GW Bush's "war on terror".

The only places I can absolutely say have less real pesonal freedom have Islamic governments or are contolled by China, Cuba or North Korea; but don't worry soon the US will catchup with them. There are probably some other third world locales.
