Once in a while a friend will speak of the evils of the US, and I gladly inform them, one thing I like about the US, you can leave anytime you want.
Funny, I have yet to see anyone move to some place they thought better, guess they haven't found a better place. Happy 4th Jimmy A.

The Declaration of Independence was the 13 colonies declaring their independence from England. At that time in our history we had many religious & ethnic groups in this soon to become country. Why any of them think that we have to embrace them & their way of life is ludicrous. We don't embrace the local Amish's lifestyle but we don't shun them either. They're different than many of us & so what as long as they don't bother us & vice a versa but hey, they're our neighbors & we treat them with the same amount of respect that I hope they would treat us with. To me that's what freedom is all about. Many people hate Americans because of our free wheeling lifestyle when in actuality they know nothing about our lifestyle. Most Americans don't live their lives as they're portrayed in the movies. Heck even most Californians don't live the lifestyle shown in the movies. In this country if one wants to experiment with other lifestyles then go for it as long as you don't hurt anyone else. What other countries can one do this in ? Some think that lifestyles are all about money and in some cases that may be true but for the most part it is not as most farmers would still be farmers just as most nurses would still be nurses & most computer geeks would still be computer geeks. Sure there a few doors that may close in your face as you try to work your way up the ladder of life but there are far fewer doors closed in the US of A then there are in other countries & if you don't agree with me then feel free to leave any time. OBTW don't let the door hit you in the caboose on the way out. ----------+---------- Wayne D.
