America was the land of the free when I left in 1989. A hard working person who wants to make his life truthfully, then America was the place. Now after 9/11, patriot act and citizen scrutiny and all I am not sure. Even Neil Young has come up with an Album based on the present state of the US. Job for everyone, cars, vacations, work, work, work, makes America a very great nation. People who want to vision their life that was the place. Other culture don't exemplify vision as a prerogative in life, but US was different, it had all the ingredients of a Country run abstractly but commonsense prevailed in every activity. Now things may be different, with citizens being pried upon and scrutinized on a daily basis. It was the perfect form of democracy available. In Lincolns words, 'a country concieved in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created a equal' a loafty ideal for others to follow. Yes it had freedom take it from me, now things are different, I suppose to come up with such a quiery. Where else can a poor man live like the rich may be on borrowed money, the abstractions under which it all works defies human intelliegence, the vision of it's founding Fathers. Numero uno, that is what America is.

Not for long, if the federal government keeps eroding our right in the name of "national security".
