Q* What does America stand for?

Not democracy.refer 5 to 4 high court ruling in Bush v Gore.

Not the land of the free

The patriot act just about defies all major points in the American constitution as we overseas know it. While I may not be able to back up timbers points with facts. There is a great Australian joke from a film, which deals with our own constitution. It goes, when asked specifically what part of the constitution has been broken the lawyer replies "the vibe your honour, it's against the vibe".

MagiK ask yourself, in years to come when people ask what is America? can you honestly reply "It's the land of the free"

Is America, once the beacon for human rights and ideals, the resting place for those oppressed and victimised, now a monolith to past glories?
