The United States was founded on a lofty set of concepts and principles; Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, freedom of speech and freedom to express ones ideas and beliefs, freedom of ones own religion, and freedom from other’s religions, freedom from tyranny, the right to bear arms, the right to congregate, freedom of minorities from persecution, the right to privacy, equality, and democracy. At least these are the ideas that Americans seem to think their country is about. So why is it, that Americans are so keen on telling everyone else, how to live, who to love, what is right and who is wrong? Are Americans hypocrites?
