Our gov't is far from perfect, but it is really tiresome hearing all the hate on these boards for them - no matter what they do its wrong and horrible and a conspiracy. If you hate the US government so much, go live somewhere else. I highly doubt you will find much better elsewhere. If you think a perfect government is even a realistic concept you would stop reading so much fiction!
