No, US is a pretty great nation and people..... What I am sick of is the 
emergence of US as the political capital of the world

see for instance 
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/15/google-privacy-claim-uk-british-court-california

The fact that a transnational elite class supports such an arrangement 
is even more problematic...

I believe in the maxim - 'no legislation without representation', a take 
on 'no taxation without representation ', a slogan that fired the great 
democratic revolution in the US...
