I have the impression that most Americans (US citizens) consider themselves free, and America is almost by definition "The land of the free". But compared to Europe I think Americans have a lot of restrictions in their lives, most of them due to a puritanical religious set of values and maybe also due to the fact that the US has become such a dangerous place to live in, at least the cities. Here in Denmark everyones free to get married, including homosexuals. Peoples sex life is their own business, not the churchs. Doctors and hospitals are free. The public schools are safe. My son can ride his bike to school even though we live in a large city.
I'm not saying that we're better than you, just want to discuss what "freedom" really means.
