To say nothing of: "Why are some plant-derived substances allowed to sponsor your biggest religious/quasi-military event of the year (beer, the "Super Bowl"), when others are deemed taboo and people are locked up for distributing them?"

Heh.

"Why do you let your citizens own extremely efficient, lethal, military, killing weapons when all other democratic countries have outlawed these?" Stalin's Russia and Hitler's Germany outlawed guns... Americans believe in self-defense. NOT in being victims.. America is the only planet's superpower... 'nuff said... Michale

There are lots of things in America (and other countries but especially America) that our Martian will be confused by. "Why do you let your citizens own extremely efficient, lethal, military, killing weapons when all other democratic countries have outlawed these?" or "Why do you not allow your citizens access to health care so they can prevent themselves from dying - when all other democratic countries offer this?" for example...

"If we can avoid partisan gridlock on this issue temporarily, why not permanently?"
