You used to have a Constitutional validation of basic individual rights! But, I guess there are more important things to a nation, than the consent of the governed.
In America, Soviet Union becomes YOU! You fucked up, America. And now you no longer exist in any meaningful context. The only single thing that defines you as a coherent entity within your borders is the way in which you are taxed - without representation.
Yer the same sons of bitches who went round with party pins on yer coats, and rounded up trade unionists and sculptors and Catholic objectionists for torture. I laugh everytime one of you makes the grave. Because... Now you realize the extent of the evil you've done in this life.

I don't know if I am angry or sad. But it is sad.
Now that you've escaped, why bother tunneling your way back into the Stalag^H^H^H^H^H^H Soviet^H^H^H^H^H^H U.S.?
