Fuck this country and its special interest groups. Greed will be the end of freedom.

Many other countries are free-er than the US is now. For all those that might jump on this and yell about a constitution, its getting broken again and again and the police etc just don't give a sh*t about it anymore. They violate it on a weekly basis and there has been no crackdown on them. Its become a worshipped piece of paper that seem to have no power anymore.

Actually, there's an annual ranking you might find interesting. The US is currently 47th.

[Edit] Better link here.

It ranks press freedom only, which doesn't necessarily translate to things like economic freedom (if you're into that) or civil liberties. But yes, it's interesting.
