With all of the reminders today on my Facebook wall about how free are we Americans, I figured that I would create a thread to list how free are we. I will begin:
We are so free… that we cannot renounce our American citizenship without permission from the government.
We are so free… that the government regulates what you can put in your body.
We are so free…that it is illegal for us to consume cannibus.
I should have looked at the second post…
We are so free…that we cannot get a job without a social security number.
If you’re so free that you need a license to braid hair…you might be an American.
We are so free, that if we buy a gold coin and place it in a safe for 3 years to protect us from the government printing money, we must then pay a fee of 28% to said government for any appreciation of the coin.
We are so free… that we can keep the land we lawfully purchased so long as we continue to pay the property taxes.
we are so free… to choose and vote between such starkly different candidates thatonly agree that we need 30,000 drones protecting us from us.
we are so free… not to freely do what we freely want to do. 'MERIKA!
I’ve got a new one. We are so free that we have to be violated every time we want to fly commercially.
I saw something that goes along with that on facebook:
Can’t see London,
Can’t see France,
Until we see your underpants!
The eternal Bill Hicks on America.
George Carlin on who really runs America.

Oh, and we should celebrate some of our government’s successes, too:
Closing of Gitmo, no wait, it’s still open
Withdrawal from Iraq, no wait, we’re still there
There are so many achievements in the last 11 years that a trophy wall couldn’t hold all the tropies. Hats off to the US Federal Government!
