    Yeah, well, I like having rights so we’ll just have to accept that everything can’t be perfect.

      Typical American Exceptionalism take. Hey buddy, there are hundred of free countries that provide their citizens with inalienable rights.

      How about you take your “America can do anything” attitude and apply it to GOOD instead of killing others?

      American CAN do anything it wants, like helping its citizens.

      It chooses not to.

      I don’t understand. You think that if the United States stops bailing out mega corporations and starts to enforce laws on white collar crime, that we will also lose civil rights?

      Or maybe you’re trying to say that while the US has many faults, at least it’s not as bad as China. That is of course true, for some of the people some of the time, but certainly not all of the people all the time.
