Is America to civil for her own good? Why are we not free?

How come in other foreign countries when a person wrongs someone that person faces immediate repercussions - such as a punch to the face or a kick to the azz.. No police, no court - nothing. This country is hell bent on keeping citizens in a box. They have a damm law, rule or regulation for everything. America truly is a control freakish country and the many that live here walk around blind to it. When did you think that you should let the law handle the person that just punched you in the face? ( not written law, but known ) How did you feel when you thought you shouldn't be spending time or be friendly with younger kids ( not written law, but known by lots of men ) Comments?
