fpbIn yesterday's American Thinker, a man with the Italian name of Bonelli wrote the following, extremely offensive statement:
The United States is different from most other countries in many ways. One unique aspect of our country is that our elected officials, officers of the court, and the military, all pledge their allegiance to the Constitution and not to an office, individual or party. This assures continuity of the ideals set forth by the founders.
As an Italian citizen, I have personally sworn to defend the Constitution of my country when I served in the Italian army. The presumption involved in this ignorant display of insular arrogance is an insult to every constitutional government in the world.

I'm saying that in America, people FEAR more direct control over individuals lives because of restricted freedom in other areas. Your country has restrictive rent laws, which cause folks to not be able to have their own homes at an early age. It may favor the established but does not help start new families.
