No, that's pretty much how it looks to me, from inside, as well. Granted, these are not the types of conversations that people are having any more - this is definitely Bush-era stuff. Now people are arguing about whether the president is Socialist/Muslim, and the people who used to be saying "love it or leave it" are musing about armed rebellion against the state. As The World Turns, eh?
And yeah, I went to sleep last night fantasizing about how the world would look if everybody got to choose what country they wanted to belong to based on that country's institutions/systems. I think it's more that the U.S. is lucky to have someone like Martina, not that she's lucky to be here, and that's my feeling on states and citizens in general.
