makor01, you're partially right. America is one of the most free countries. My mom's co-worker who lived in russia, she came to america and first walked into a supermarket and saw all the food in that store, and that you could select whatever you wanted from it, she fainted. She never even dreamed of a freedom like that. That is why america is so great.

But on the other hand, America is going down the drain too. If you can disagree with that, look at what alot of this website and NORML stands for. The patriot act basically fucked the shit out of our freedoms, and the government is getting more and more powers, and we're losing more and more of our freedoms. The government is hiding certain things within other bills being passed so they can manipulate our country.

We are no longer in control of our country, the government is. And the government is no longer the people.
