But not anymore. Today, most Europeans would not want to switch. Patriot Act? Sneak & Peek Searches? TIPS Program? Military used as Law Enforcment? War on Drugs?

Interesting comment. It would seem that 54% of Britons would not agree with your statement.

Might be so. I can't talk in numbers. Also I usually dont include the Britons when I say European. They seem to be insulted.

Anyway, as I said I don't have numbers. But my own opinion is, if you take the last uh 50 years or so, many from Germany, France, Holland and who-knows-where would have given their right arm to leave Europe and move to America. Because, they thought America was the land of personal freedom. But today? Why move? What can you have in America what you dont have here? Especially, what freedom's can you enjoy, that you don't get in Europe?

After 9/11 it's even worse. I talked with someone from Eastern Germany about the TIPS system some time ago. He said, he see's no difference between those two. Well, what can I say? He lived with Stasi Spy's, I didn't. I don't know if he is right or not.

That's the impression I get. I know several American Citizens who hide in countrys like Holland cos their already had encounters with the law. Only dope heads, of course, but in holland those are free and working dope heads, in America they would sit behind bars. Wich country is the land of the free?
