Although freedom is very limited in America compared to tons of other countries its the only country where the subject is so sensitive. Every action is an "action of freedom".

The saying ?our home is our castle? idea was developed through many things. First, was many American immigrates from around the world were booted off their property or ancestral land due to kings, tyrants, or taxes. (Read Irish potato famine and the migration here) Second, after the Louisiana purchase many went west and actually homesteaded on dangerous Indian land or the natural resources were so valuable ie., gold in California or water rights for cattle in Texas. Meaning the country was so new we did not have solid law enforcement structure to protect our property or being. So the government passed a law stating our ?our home is our castle?. In short, Police yourself.
After living and traveling in Europe I know our laws must look funny to you. You have to remember we use to have open borders and took the ?unwanted? from all your countries. I laugh when I read here the Euro-trash slamming Americans. We built the best economy and trend setting country in the world.. When you think of Americans I assure you tulips, wooden shoes, wind mills, and fags don?t come into mind.
