Can we be brutally honest about this? This country was barely home of the "free" before 9/11, post 9/11 we have become what we used to fear and despise. A police state. Shades of the old USSR or Nazi Germany. National ID`s (papers please?), massive federal databases, the Constitution being ignored in favor of "national security". There is no freedom as it was meant to be. What does this mean? The terrorists won. How dare I say that? Look at our wreck of an economy. Look at the absurdly massive Homeland Security Department. The Dept. of Justice is out of control. States have no rights, they must bow down to the almighty Fed Government.
Look at what we do to people who dare to break one of our many, many laws. Your sentence is LIFE. You do not do your time, pay your fine and move on. You are blacklisted FOREVER. And everything is illegal and a felony. Smoke a cigarette in the wrong place? Didnt buckle your seatbelt? Crazy.
IS the grass greener on the other side? I dont know. But as time goes on I am becoming more and more convinced that it is something I will try to find out. This country has lost its way and we have crossed lines that we simply cannot/will not be able to reverse.
