The USSR for decades was a police state. Thank God and Ronald Reagan, that isn't the case anymore.

and to quote Fred Thompson:

"I am one of the lucky ones. There are many lucky ones today. And for all of our diversity, we share one thing in common—a deep appreciation for the fact that we live in the United States of America and have the best medicine and the best doctors the world has ever known."

the US, far from a police state, is the best country in the world. which is why we have every stripe of foreigner begging, borrowing and stealing their way in here.
