Suggestion: go live for a few years in Afghanistan, then a couple more years
in Iran, then Iraq. Then come back and tell me all about how "tyrannical"
the US is. No matter how "tyrannical" the US is, they never force you to
stay if you don't like it. So if its so bad, pick up stakes and go
somewhere else. Or is every single nation on the planet a tyranny in your
eyes?
The only problem with giving people freedom is, like giving them money, the
more they get the more they want.
