One of the best things you could do as a country is stop with the 'land of the free' parareligion. You're not particularly freer than your contemporaries. In some things you are, in others you're not. You have a great level of freedom, but due to the parareligion, there is a sentiment (obviously not shared by all) that other countries must somehow 'not be free'. It creates a distorted sense of self.


USA is demonstrably less free than anywhere else if you define free merely as "not being in prison".
