But I'm sure it's a paradise compared to the cultural ignorance and savage tyranny of life in these United States...

Maybe it is because I have been living too long in this country, but I am not actually sure whether you are being serious or not. This country irrespective of whatever its faults is still light years ahead of many parts of the world; Ethiopia where I grew up used to have a policy where the family of people who used to get shot by the government had to pay for the cost of the spent bullets before the body would be released.
I'm not being even remotely serious. I was mocking slashdotaccount's "wish list", which amounted to little more than a list of prejudices and grievances about the United States.
