Essentially, yes, we do live as hostages. If you don’t agree with the American Government and even try to act against it, you are charged with terrorism. If you happen to be in the middle class, like most in the country, you get hit with tax after tax after tax, and if some of the politicians had their way, you would get taxed on the taxes too, but they wouldn’t call it a tax, they’d call it something else.

America’s political landscape is in SERIOUS need of reform, and although I wouldn’t go as far as to call the USA a Plutocracy, it is far from being a democracy. I’ve been an American Citizen all of my life (all 25 years of it), and all of the bs that’s been coming out over the past decade, and getting worse as time progresses, has me wanting to renounce my citizenship in the USA, and become a citizen in another country… Canada, Ireland, England, Australia… just about anywhere except this stupid country that thinks that the only way to have peace is to constantly shove it’s views on other countries, as if that’s what they wanted.

I wouldn’t say the world would be better off without the USA, because when the USA isn’t shoving it’s political and financial agendas down the throats of other countries, it actually does some good. I would say however, that the MODERN United States political system is corrupt and needs a shake up. Maybe the UN can step in, do an audit on the country, and investigate and force changes on this SERIOUSLY corrupt government.

Why no India? I think it is not possible site here so easily because hosting a site in India is 10 times expensive than in other countries because of some monopolies. But all new film DVDs are available on the road. If rule becomes too strict, you just have to go down one step in technology.

Maybe one should first consider if the criticism is honest.

Actually, you do belong to the US. Every time your govt. accepts money from the US, your country owes the US. You are America’s bitch-boy. Bend over and deal with it. If you don’t want to deal with it, complain to your govt. and tell them to stop taking welfare from the US.
