As for freedoms I don't recall you're having a right to bear arms. And I believe the majority of your paychecks go to taxes because your government knows better how your money needs to be spent.

You don't know your history very well. Over a year before Hitler invaced Poland Finland was attacked by Russia, damn near beat them, but were finally overcome by the sheer numerical advantage the Russians had.
Your statement about Chechosolvakia makes even less sense - Britian and France disregarded the wishes of the fucking country they allowed Hitler to swallow at Munich - what makes you think the opinion of Finland would have been considered?
Do you think Finland should have formed an alliance with Switzerland and attempted to defend France and the rest of Europe from the Germans?
Anyother cliff-notes history student. Bah!
And how could I have missed that last paragraph? I'm slipping. Another from the "we got guns so we be more better free" school. Bah! Bah!
