Actually, that is an assumption. I, of course, know that the citizens of the US are not the only people to enjoy freedoms. Even someone from as messed up a school system as mine knows that. Just because others share our great atributes does not make them any less amazing. The fact that we've been able to maintain them more or less for so long is also quite astounding. My freedoms aren't a cliche, they are fundamental to the way I live my life. When I talk about my freedoms, I am being sincere and serious.
