<<But it's the fault of our elected government leaders (and therefore ultimately our own responsibility) for permitting dilution of the basic virtuous values upon which this country was founded>>

... slavery and genocide? and why? the 'elected leaders' are by the people for the people, and you can only blame yourself and your system of government.

in beijing, they can blame the leaders and their system of government.

in hong kong we blame no one in particular and work around over and below the issues to make it go away

that is why we are the freeest, wealthiest, and most rewarded, even as we are devoid of many advantages. iow, we must know freedom when we see it, and i do not see it in your land.

btw, the wait time in hkg to give up usa burden is now 8-9 months long. the wait time in london is 1 month longer than hk. why do you suppose? there are not a lot of countries where one has to wait to give up the burden of being a supposedly 'free' electorate.
