Uh... wha? Well, technically I live here because I was born here and that gave me automatic citizenship, but I continue to live here because there currently aren't any other places in this world I'd rather be. There are plenty of other countries that offer more freedom to their citizens than the US does at this moment, but I love this land, love her cities, and I love the varied culture across the regions. I couldn't leave that.
