Funny thing is that is always happens throughout history.  Take Carthage for example.  They were a settlement of the Phoenicians which eventually the people were so distant from their origins that they believed that they were their own people.

Yeah I'm talking about the UK. This country has had to grant many many many countries independance it's quite insane. 

I'm a US and UK national so we and you is the same to me aha. 

We need to cast off the current oppressive government.....

Hopefully we have better choices in the next presidential election.  Seems like USA is void of good leadership.  Almost makes me miss Obama and he wasn't even that great.  He just looks great compared to what we have now.  Hell, I'd almost want to have Bush Jr again but on second thought it would take a few more bs wars to make me want that.

I don't care much about Trump.  I mean, he sucks.  But, so did Clinton, as did Obama, and Bush before him.

I'm talking about the whole thing.  The war on drugs, the constant wars all over the world.  The huge taxes to pay for it all.  The out of control police.  Those things are much, much bigger than any presidential administration.  We need a fundamental change.  We're supposed to be "the land of the free".  But, we are far from it.  

Number 1 in prison population thanks to the war on drugs!  Yea we do need a change.  Need a shift on the way we think and act in numerous areas such as health/proper diet, money in politics, our political system, trying to be the world's police, interfering with other countries, etc...

Have I found someone to convert?

Convert to what?  I'm a hardcore libertarian.  Some might call me an anarcho-capitalist.
