i would be interested to see who tpaschal30 thinks the Americans have freed from tyranny.

Stoney,
While your input is certainly welcome, my question was directed more toward U.S. citizens in an effort to see which of us believe that we live in the greatest country in the world and which of us do not. If possible, I would prefer that this not turn into a discussion of the attributes of the various countries of the world but simply address the question.
Thanks,
Matt

This thread is a bit like asking Christians if Jesus is the greatest religious figure. The believers will say, " Of course!"
