Tina for crying out loud! You make the US sound like the only Democratic country in the world. There are many! In fact considering that Bush has only given 9 press conferences since he was elected, I think that democracy has indeed been compromised in recent years.
My father's visiting Los Angeles at the end of the week, and the travel agent had to circle a whole lot of suburbs that weren't safe to visit. Doesn't sound like the sort of place where I'd want to live! My city is only slightly smaller than LA, and I'd feel safe in any suburb.
