Read the list, UK is the 7th freeest, the USA is the 13th.

You can't really argue with that, especially as it was compilled by such a fine organisation as The Heritage Foundation, of which Rush Limbaugh has said,
"Some of the finest conservative minds in America today do their work in The Heritage Foundation"

own a tv; you do.
own a gun; you can't.
I know that if the governemnt comes through the door of my home they will have obtained a warrant from a judge based on probable cause. You don't because your government isn't so restrained.
I have 10 very specific individual rights enshrined in a document - you don't.
That (document is/those rights are) continuously under attack by people who say they want us to live under a governmetn like yours...and they are very anti-individual rights. What does that tell you?
So the Heritage Foundation can stick it's study. And as I've previously posted, the US is definately right behind the UK in restricting individual rights in favor of the State.
That said, I'm still a citizen and you're still a subject. I'm a politically sovereign entity under our form of government and your are not under yours.
Any questions?
