im so fed up with everything... fuck politics.
btw, what 3rd world country are you from?
and i agree that the way to prove that suchfrinds, although may not live in the best place, its still not a dictatorship is that he is free to leave whenever he wants

was born in peru & lived in mexico & the u.s. and of all of them i prefer the last one. (i spent almost a year in israel too). here you can bitch about the government all you want, you don't just suddenly "disappear" and then turn up in a mass grave-- well not until recently anyway.
what pisses me off is the way people have let the bill of rights go down the toilet in the name of "national security"-- but i believe that shameful era is coming to an end. hopefully we'll elect a president who is a constitutional scholar & will respect rather than rape the constitution. and then there is a huge grassroots movement of people getting organized to change things-- obama's campaign is in fact a grassroots organization.
there is a reason why people from all over the world want to come here, and it's not just economics. the freedoms you enjoy here are a rare treasure in what is mostly a brutal motherfucking world.
im not saying that suchfriends defends dictatorships per se, but he never answered my point-- however, you realize his signature is the picture of a so-called "emperor", right? the fact that he was a benevolent one and a relatively enlightened man doesn't change the fundamental anachronism and aberration that is a belief on the divine right of kings.
