Warzone USA
Just crossed the USA from Montreal to Laredo: Tracing bullion shit in the US (Panamericana Part 1) - Gentleman Adventurer
That really is an obnoxious country to travel through: unfriendliest border controls in the world ("answer yes or no. Yes or no, only."). Total police state (my travel mate had to knee down before a cop). Arbitrary police behaviour. No rule of law. War memorials and garrisons everywhere. Paramilitary playgrounds. Guns galore ("we rent machine guns"). Bad ass bumper stickers ("Defeat the enemy. No mercy, no quarter.") Paternalistic attitude creating sheep-like masses ("Wait to be seated").  . Cameras everywhere. Orwellian loudspeaker messages. TSA patdowns ...
"Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!!
For lack of other perspectives, they have created a new enemy and turned against their own people.
I have traveled through 173 UN countries. Even Belorus and Uzbekistan were better !
