America the Ugly

I believe we as Americans have too much freedom. Yes, I said it - too much freedom. And yes, it is possible. Yes, we have plenty of social structure but there isn't much of a sense of morality anymore. We have too much bureaucracy, too much free enterprise, but not enough religion. Take this example, the "Royal Wedding" was witnessed by millions of Americans. If, let's say, Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber got married, there are countries where people would get stoned to death just for mentioning it. We seem to care too much about peoples' social state and not enough about their eternal one.

In a country where Catholicism, Santeria, and Mormonism exist alongside twelve different denominations of Judaism, strong and weak Muslims, and both branches of Protestantism, I would say we have too much freedom here. Happy Independence Day. Don't be the lizard.
