Whether you live in China, Russia, Egypt, Great Britain, or the United states of America ...there exists a measure of national pride.

Throughout history, there may be slight variations in national borders ...yet, what goes on within those borders may vary drastically.  What a country was 200 years ago, may not be recognized today for what it once was ...only the nation's borders and a few landmarks may ring familiar and be recognized for what it once was.

The United States of America has been able to exercise countless freedoms, inclusive of 'freedom of the press' ...which I guess, this is a version of.  Yet, within our system of 'checks and balances', we have the freedom to make changes ...and ultimately, I guess, that would include the ability to make choices and decisions that would allow us to perhaps feel free to destroy ourselves.
