I was just wondering what you thought was the most important aspect of your life as an American... Just curious.

Wow! You mean I actually agree with you!?
I've been on unemployment only twice since 1973. I have no kids I am willing to claim. I don't expect to see much of my Social Security ($1800.00/mo) because I am a "boomer" with no large block of consumers coming out of the GenX 'kowabunga' crowd. Nobody tells me what to do. That's why I would never think of joining the military. Ever. I don't give a flying fuuck about abortion, gay marriage or prayer in public schools. But I don't want my tax dollars being spent discussing this non-sense. We need law enforcement. We don't need laws about buckling your seat belt, wearing a helmet, making sure you park on the other side of the street because it is the second Tuesday of the month, having to have car insurance (which is legalized extortion), the Patriot Act. We do need the Fire Department and they need more of our support financially, emotionally and spiritually. We need healthcare. We don't need the corporated consolidation of the media or the lack of public outrage with the un-enforcement of anti-trust laws.Originally posted by freethought6t9:
Would you want the government to stay out of your life when you need to claim unemployment, send your kids to public school, draw social security in retirement, or do you just mean telling you what to do? Like legislating on abortion, gay marriage, prayer in public schools? Clarify your position, how about law enforcement, or the fire dept. healthcare, corporate consolidation of the media?
Plain old me said:I'm not American, so I cannot answer his poll, but from an outside viewpoint, judging from this website amongst other things, it seems to me that the thing that matters to most Americans are their rights and freedoms.

new coup for you said:Post-Eastern Bloc. Whatever semantics you perfer.
No the attraction to going to Russian wasnt tourist reasons, i just wanted to go someplace unregulated.
