Ahem, I also like the fact that the biggest controversy right now seems to be whether to allow gay marriages.
We aren't worried about whether we will starve to death next month, or get executed, etc. And this has become a topic of discussion all the way up to the highest levels of the government.
I like how plastic our government is, it changes and grows (maybe a little too slow, but still) and in fifty years has gone from being an increidibly anti-deviant institution to one that tolerates almost any expression of individuality and sexuality.
