brandon,
Don't believe everything you hear or read.
Russia is a beautiful place, and freedom???
They have more freedom than you and I.
They DON'T have to pay car insurance if
they don't want to, yeah its expensive and
most can't afford it, but still, its getting that
way here but nonetheless, they still have the
option. They are not cited for not wearing seatbelts,
etc...There are many more examples I could give, but
not sure it's worth the time.
BTW, I was married to a Russian Girl from Moscow and
spent quite a bit of time over there.
The only thing keeping Russia from having the same kind of freedom
as you and I are US.
Im sure JR will have something to say about it as well.
