Oh boy, America love it or leave it, eh?  You know, it's not that
easy.  Most other countries aren't too keen on granting political
asylum to yanks, and in general make it difficult to find steady
employment.  And they know when they've got a good thing.  This "you
choose to live here" business is nonsense.  The fact that I am free
to visit most any place in the world does not mean I can become a
citizen there, let alone work.

US is best?  Most desirable?  How do you know, not to mention rank
order?  The US is not best on most of the popular health statistics
(like lifespan or infant mortality indices), nor per capita income,
not to mention crime.  There are many other democracies that appear
to be about as politically and economically free as the US, and with a
much better quality of life.

Ah, but *we* can blow every one of 'em to kingdom come with the
touch of a button.  Lucky us.
