The lovely thing about Americans is that they live to break rules. I was crossing the Homestead High Level bridge today, where the speed limit is clearly posted as 25mph. I was doing 35, and everyone was passing me. We fudge our taxes. We weasel around rules and regulations and pat ourselves on the back because we managed to outwit a parking meter, or sneak something past customs.
Tell Americans that they can't speak their minds anymore, and they'll scream their opinions to the four winds. Take away our right to vote, and people who couldn't be bothered to go to the polls before will howl bloody murder.
This is my hope for the nation.
