The American Experiment Has Failed
America was a great political experiment for which most of the Founders paid with their lives, and nearly all of the rest were impoverished and died penniless.
At the time warrantless searches, seizures of property without charges being proved, intentional lies used to obtain “general warrants” and imposition of taxes in the single digits were sufficient to compel men to pick up arms and shoot. Having a Redcoat ball removed from you, if you got shot, meant doing it with nothing more than a belt or two of whiskey for anesthetic and a stick for your teeth so you didn't bite your tongue in half as a result of the surgical pain. There were no antibiotics either, so if you were shot in the gut your odds of evading a slow and horribly-painful death from septic infection approached zero.
