The question here isn't about how much freedom the Americans have or how it compares to the level of freedom in other countries. The issue here is "Hypocrisy".
I have lived in the U.S for over 25 years, and I do believe that this is probably the greatest country in the history, but I also think that the U.S Gov (as a whole) has been and remain the biggest "hypocrites" in the history of mankind.
bottom line, west or east, north or south, where ever I look, I see bad guys are in charge.
Still, I rather have the Americans as the big hypocrite power of the world than those freaking Chinese or fucking Russians..
