The list of free after-school clubs is impressive (apart from the gay club, in school!!!).

Are these real functioning clubs where the children can be looked after after school?
It'd be interesting to know what they say to the kids about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars in the "Peace club"!

Like I said before, there is a lot to admire about America, and the internal politics is definitely not my problem (although i personally prefer more social welfare than what the US offers its' citizens, and more economic equality) But whatever Americans want within their own borders is fine by me.

Actually about the American Freedom: I think it STARTED as much more free (for white people) than Europe. But nowadays I don't think there is any difference.
