A country where Ku Klux Klan member, David Duke, was elected Governor. Our founding fathers were hemp growing slave owners, the framers of the constitution were white, aristocratic, land owners who didn't want to pay their taxes. America, I believe, is the most corrupt industrialized nation on earth. Our politicians will use something as terrible as the death penalty to satisfy the American blood lust for death. The same thing with war.
People love guns, politicians love votes.
Americans have a funny understanding of freedom. If the revolutionary war never happened, America would still be under British control. This, in my opinion, would have been a good thing. The British also have gun control. In 1993, less then 40 people died of gunshot wounds in England, compare that to 40,000 in the United States.
