I really enjoyed this piece, I am not one who typically reads these type of posts but I do like your candor. I have to say, my somewhat limited on the ground experience of the "American Dream" has led me to the conclusions you have also come to. The right to bear arms for example was brought about when it took 30 seconds to reload, not 30 seconds to 1/2 empty a clip of 400 rounds!

Butttttttt..... Freedom!
