It means a couple of things
Because America's an Independent nation and not a colony, it's much safer to live in!. You saw what happened at the Falkan Islands!. Argentina claimed it so a war ensued!. Mexico could have done the same, aswell as Russia!. Aswell as that, there are no revolts and random executions of people who are thought to be involved in Rebels!. As I'm irish, I know the struggle that happened for freedom!. Although on the outset it was a huge failure, we got freedom anyways, but not completetly which led to the troubles (northern ireland was still part of the UK) with the IRA and bombings!. That could have been America were it not for its distance from Britian!. So you live in a somewhat safe country, Isn't that enough!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
