I traveled to 5 countries this year alone and every time I hit American soil I'm grateful. If we could just roll back most of our changes to America circa 1970s minus racism and high inflation from the Jimmy Carter years.

Your gratefulness to be back home doesn't mean you're free here. You're not.
Having a slave plantation be slightly more free than others is not the same as ACTUALLY being free. Americans don't talk about the "land of the slightly freer than some places."
The U.S. is not even the MOST free slave plantation, socially or economically.
True and I do appreciate the irony of your post, first it's content then followed by dictating terms of response.
I wasn't dictating terms of response. You responded how you wanted to. If you can't handle people disagreeing with you, maybe the internet is not for you.
Reads like you're replying to your own post. How can you add the last statement to your post then deflect on me pointing it out? Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just reading your post.
The point is he was not dictating how you could respond, he was responding to your response. No one here is threatening or hurting you because of what you wrote or might later write.
@troglodactyl I don't feel hurt or threatened. Please elaborate for the poster or yourself which post of mine you have an issue with here and why. Did I deserve "If you can't handle people disagreeing with you, maybe the internet is not for you"? What a childish, insulting, anti-anarchist thing to say to someone.
What's the problem? Can you please enunciate what dictating means, because in this context it is read that he was telling you how you should respond, when I don't see how that is.(P.S. If you respond to this article by saying, “If you don't like it, then leave!” then you're just a well-trained slave demonstrating what a severe case of Stockholm Syndrome you have.)If you can't handle people disagreeing with you, maybe the internet is not for you.
Now my words: Who keeps saying that he dictated? I made the observation once and he did in his last statement, still.
Is it my responsibility to connect the dots in regards to what the definition of irony is or how the definition of dictate is applied to statements like "(P.S. If you respond to this article by saying, “If you don't like it, then leave!” then you're just a well-trained slave demonstrating what a severe case of Stockholm Syndrome you have.)"? I think not.
Would you prefer that I use the noun mandate instead of dictate?
Please don't forget to look up the definition of bloviate when you have a moment ;-)
What arguments should I be defending sir?
I am an observationalist imperious to your underlying insults so please address me with the same level of respect I will address you or not at all, thank you!
edit after reading your last post: I have no axe to grind nor waffle burning in my toaster but thanks for playing.
If you want to label observation as an argument, so be it, I'm on season 2 episode 10 of Mad Men and am heading back into my theater room for the night. I really just came out to input some trades on the exchanges and here we are.
Here's a question for you: How many accounts in ratio does a steemian(steemit member) have on medium average? Night Night
So was that an average of 2 accounts per steemian or more?
Based on your experience I guess we can both agree on at least 2 accounts, correct?
I only got off the funny farm to see Taiwan, Thailand, and Cambodia this year...and I dreaded the return to my slave quarters and my slave like existence. At least I know I am a free range slave...and free ranging is only permitted by the Masters at a fee and with a chip in place to track you.
In my humble opinion the USA not the usa is one of the very few countries one can feel they've won the lottery for being born in. God bless the United States of America!
Which countries? I've felt the exact opposite and have been to about 100.
Egypt, Malaysia, Honduras, Dominica, Turks and Caicos and Venezuela were new to me this year.
I have not been to near 100 countries, just six new ones this year and repeat trips to Mexico and the Abaco Islands, Bahamas(my future retirement home).
Edit: Oops, I was in Barbados but didn't have time to explore so am not considering that a visit and look forward to going back, I love making new friends and learning their culture.
My business partner is teaching every bartender of every country we go to how to make a Tom Collins.
