I would rather live in the US with all the apparent NON-freedom we have, than anywhere else in the world... with their definition of "freedom" and all the opportunities and diversity that do NOT come with it.

My two trips to the States left me feeling very grateful for the freedoms we enjoy in NZ,

You visited all 50 states and met everyone....twice?

especially our employment law and the access we have to enjoy the land, rivers, lakes and ocean regardless of wealth or status.

Ha! Ha!let me guess, some con artist charged the tourist (you) to look at the ocean.

We have "free" access to "enjoy the land, rivers, lakes and ocean" - you don't need wealth or status, all you need are the will to get to them. I just got back from a weekend backpacking trip in one of my States many State Forests. All I did was drive to the starting point, filled out the Backpacker's Registration card....so the rangers know how many people are in your party (in my case two) and when you are coming back. Drop the card in the box and off we went.....then drop off the return card when you get back. If you don't come back, they call the number you left to make sure you are OK. If they don't get an answer, they go looking for your body.
