J Here is one who says "Why did I come here?  It was all a myth!" So now you can recall at least one. The only exceptional thing about US is the amount of money one can potentially make here. The ideals of freedom and opportunity expired a long time ago for majority of people. You can't be free if you cannot afford health care, can be shot in every imaginable place, like a church, and your vote matters much less in a higher population density area. Opportunity is available only for those who can afford it financially. Having the same money in many other places, including some European countries, affords much more freedom and opportunity. You just need to open your eyes.
