democracy is a great idea. america (or australia) doesn't have it - at all.

trial by jury....great idea for a criminalised existence. how about lore over law?

freedom of speech? - to say what where? the media is owned by billionaires

freedom of the press? ha! - read manufacturing consent by chomsky

freedom of assembly? - except if you constitute a threat to national security - ie arbitrarily withdrawable

freedom of travel? - less than what is it 5% of americans travel o/s, so what's the point - insularity rules. freedom to travel the well worn tourist trail is not really travel anyway. if you do take to the open rod you will pretty quickly run into trouble - police or otherwise.

limited government - any government is illegitimate.

private property - is a crime against the planet. perpetual leases would be a better idea.
