Look, I'm a huge supporter of First Amendment Freedom of Speech and all the great Constitutional Protections that citizens of our great country have. Yes, I also love strong opinions , some controversy and constructive criticism !
But, one thing which really bugs me is when people say what a terrible place our country is, how they "can't stand living here", etc, etc. While our country and Government are far from perfect, have you looked around at the rest of the world lately ?
Things which we "take for granted " such as being able to buy and sell private property without Government interference are not givens all over the world.
Take Cuba for example. The New York Times reported that the day is almost here where private citizens in Cuba will be able to buy and sell real property for the first time since Castro took over in the late 1950's....Can you imagine? Up until now people in Cuba actually had to "trade property" where no money changed hands. Cuba may even lift restrictions on cell phone usage. What a life! Why do you think Cubans came here?
So the next time you want to complain about politicians, taxes, budget crises, credit card debt, etc....Remember one thing, you still live in the greatest country on this planet...
If you don't believe me, try Cuba.
