America, while it is not perfect, is the best country to live in.
However, I wonder how much political freedom really means to me (a non-voting American). I would much rather have the freedom to not wear a seatbelt in my car, or a helmet on a motorcycle. But again, I could have those things in other countries, yet here I stay.
There is a delicate balance, I suppose. We have come closest to getting it right, IMHO.
