As an american, I think the US has a lot of issues. That said, I'm damn well much better off than a lot of other people can claim to be. All the doomsday talk about the US taking all our rights and in the end, we're still here bitching about it. When the government can shut down people for saying stupid things, I'll take a closer eye, but for now, I leave it to more intelligent folks to dissuade blatant myths.
