No. I agree that many American values are being flushed right down into the sewer right now, but I don't have to slave away in the sun with my arranged husband for a bowl of rice a day.
I don't have to wear the equivalent of a Queen-size sheet under the hot sun (not like I would ever get to go into it without permission). I don't live like the children in the documentary movie "Born into Brothels".
I don't have to bind my feet in constricting rags until the bones buckle up in my feet and can't grow, just so that I walk with short steps, like traditional Asian women once had to.
It isn't legal to force me to be "circumcised" with a rock and surgically sealed so that I only have enough of an orifice to urinate through, because it will stop me from cheating on my husband.
We aren't the greatest country but we're not any of those things. There but for the grace of callow jerks go I. If we were I'd move to Canada.

I definitely don't believe that "one of the few freedoms we have left" is to vote. In fact, we probably have the luxury of more rights than needed. We have the right to free speech, to the press, to live anywhere we want, to be treated equally before the law, and it just goes on and on. I wouldn't say voting and participating in the democratic process is one of the few freedoms we have, simply because we enjoy so much more, and most people just take it for granted.

No, as far as I'm concerned, there are too many freedoms you haven't lost yet!

well....since elections are going electronic now and have zero paper trail to prove what the people actually voted....
we've lost that now as well.
we are a communist nation that puts on a face of democracy.

Voting is like choosing your method of execution ---- in the end, it doesn't really matter.
