Living in a developing country I can lay testament to Americans having it easy and being spoiled. Even poor Americans don't know what real hardship is. Yea, life can be rough, but compared to many places in the world, they have it made.
My GF came from a small farming village who only got electricity 15 years ago. Wrap your head around that. When she sees me bitching and moaning because the internet is slow she laughs at me and calls me an American baby.
Regarding driving cross country without your papers, enjoy that while it lasts. That will be coming to an end soon. TSA will be adding a lot of State to State check-points in the near future. My friend who is in the National Guard said they are already training to assist them, so it will be coming fairly soon to some areas. You'll pull up to a check point and have the TSA and the National Guard standing there with weapons asking for your ID. They already have them within the 100 mile mark from the boarders in many areas, but it will be a sad day for the USA when they are all over the place.
