ROFL
that's a really American attitude- let me paraphrase "You don't agree with MY interpretation of history (even though I'm still in elementary school) so YOU should leave the country."

I just can't stop laughing. Are you sure you know why this country is great? Are you having an "I LOVE this country more than you LOVE this country" moment? This country isn't great because our founding fathers were or were not wealthy white men with an economic stake in the outcome of the war. This country isn't great because of people who REFUSE to explore certain aspects of history, because it's "un- American". This country is great (but not perfect) because this country has managed to become one country with diverse peoples, and diverse views (even silly ones like yours), and diverse geography. It's great because of a good start (the Constitution and the separation of powers), and the smart men (most looking out for their own interests- but aren't we all? If you don't think that's true why on EARTH are you hanging out at a stock site?) who started the country and continued the country, and LUCK.

I really ought to be the one suggesting you leave the country since you clearly don't understand what freedom of speech means, for a start. But I understand that freedom of speech even encompasses persons of limited views like yourself. In fact it's a good thing you're around- as a cautionary example of what happens when cousins get a little too friendly.
