The BS that you regurgitate daily...is amazing. I am 45 years old...and I have had the freedom to do exactly as I have chosen to do for the past 45 years. There is not anything major that I wanted to do that I couldn't do and there is not anything major that I cannot do that I want to do...and that my is my idea of freedom.

OK.. I'll indulge you just this time!
If you consider you have freedoms and privacy - fine! That's what the deadening effect of CNN does after some years.
The US has less freedoms and privacy than *any* country in the western world. I assume you are aware, almost everything you do is recorded somewhere. This ranges from the mail delivered via USPC, which is more than just the "mailman" to your lack of freedom to travel and live elsewhere in the world without accounting for your "status" to the IRS - Despite you may never earn one dime in the US and live in another country, they still want that tax filing and some dollars.
The US has more laws and incarcerations than *any* "civilized" nation - that's freedom!
The list is too long for GFY unless they are some gigs spare. I have no doubts I am grateful I was never born a "citizen" of the US - it is a liability personally and globally.
I hear ya about "my idea of freedom" - maybe others have more than this and value it - It all depends on which rut your are in.
