You don't know his situation, in my case, they made me come here and didn't
let me leave for almost a year. No, I wasnt held at Guantanamo bay or
anywhere else. But otherwise, his post is nothing but BS, I know stories of
a European driver, following another driver and beat him with a baseball
bat, just because he killed his engine and that took too much time. American
drivers are horrible (I can only hope MN is the worst), most roads are in
bad condition, but I'm sure there are more maniacs on European roads.

> People like you are more than welcome to leave.

That would include me, and allthough I'm free to leave now, many americans
would not welcome it.

Just as I surmised. Why don't you have a choice to live in Switzerland?
Funny how so many people who claim to hate America seem to try very
hard to move here and seldom leave once they get here.
