It's unfortunate the US has so many hypocrises and corrupt politicians. The far right and far left are doing a good job bringing this country down in just about every facet at this time. There are a number of countries I would rather live in than the United States. France is by no means one of them.

Uh, name one far-left politician of any national or even state influence.

The mainstream US political system (and media) is skewed so far to the right that even the 'lefties' are centrists at best.

Think about it, what developed country in this day and age still have debates about whether evolution should be taught in school. or that the only real resistance to the war in Iraq is solely because it's not going well tactically. or that the dead-spectre of 'socialism' can still be raised whenever anyone even starts talking about some government sponsored health care system. or tries to ban remote/internet gambling with the exception of horce racing
