26. Not only did you nail it with all the governmental misuse of power...

but if I were from a foreign country, I'd fear coming here simply because of the populace and all the guns. We're a tremendously violent country with savage people... at least, that's what I'd be thinking if I were from another country. This place is simply too dangerous to travel to and within. If we're not on any of those "don't travel" warning lists, it's got to be because someone greased some wheels someplace. I remember getting these lists when I worked at the DoD. America should be at the top of the list, IMO. I live here, and even I don't feel anywhere near safe.
