  Because you could live in Saudi Arabia.
  I know the US has room for improvement, what country doesn't??  But when people say that the US is such a "horrible" place and that we are treated so terribly by the injustice of our nation, they need to stop and look at the rest of the world.  There are much, MUCH worse places you could live and they aren't limited to just a few little spots in some remote corner of the planet.  I can think of very few countries that I would have any problem going to visit.
  Save your energy and put your righteous indignation towards a cause that will truly help those who need it.  Write letters to your Congressmen, Senators, Mayors, Governators (lol), Secratary of State, Vice President and President.  Tell them that these countries overseas that do these horrendous things to women, who have no rights in their own country, who are treated as property on the same level as a horse, dog or TV, who can be beaten for things that women over here take for granted as very mundane, ordinary, everyday things, tell them that this is not right.  Tell them that this has to stop.  Tell them to put pressure to reform those nations and bring them into the 20th century.  (I know we are in the 21st, but they are living in 13th century rules and maybe bringing them 700 years up would help to bring them into the light to catch up to the rest of us.)
  These incidents like the ones in the article above are isolated or rare.  They happen all the time, we only get to hear about the most sensational ones when the media isn't fawning all over what Pam Anderson was wearing at some gala for the Mutual Self Admiration Society, which sports personality was doing steroids or any of the other garbage they talk about.
  Saudi Arabia isn't the only country this happens in by the way.  You can point almost anywhere in the Middle East and it is happening there, save for Israel, Turkey and Iraq.  And by no means is that the only region on Earth that basic human rights are being tossed in the toilet.  There are those who tout the great land of Cuba and it's wonderful health system.  Right, I will pay the travel bill of anyone who wants to go there and film yourself standing in front of the capital there speaking into a megaphone in Spanish about how the people need to demand freedom from their government.  You'd be lucky to ever be heard from again.  Also, if their health system is so good, why aren't people clamoring to go to their great world renown clincs to be healed by the best medical services in the world??  Oh, that's right, those places are in the US....

  Cuba isn't the only place nearby to opress and deny rights to people.  I'm looking at you Mexico...

  Rampant drug corruption in the government and violence and kidnapping in the streets.  Not winning any points for a place I would visit.  Spend some time in a Mexican jail, if you don't speak the local language or have the dinero to bail, (read bribe) your way out, prepare for a real nightmare.  The National government there demands we, (the USA) should accept the illegals crossing the border, however when illegals cross THEIR southern border, they are shot at or imprisoned with very little hope of a timely trial or humane treatment.

  China has more human rights issues than you can shake a stick at.  Religous oppression, political oppression and freedom of speech to name a few.  It's easy enough to look on the internet and see how they treat the followers of the Falun Gong.  How many website have been banned in China because they mention freedom and human rights?  Most blog and journal sites are banned and citizens of China have to use offshore proxy servers to get access to them.  Google and Yahoo agreed to ban and censor web content.  Way to win one for freedom guys...
  The entire continent of Africa.  Tribal wars, anarchy, slavery, (I mean currently and yes it is still happening there and not by white people) rape, murder, ethnic genocide, religous fighting, tyranny.  These things are happening in every corner of that great continent.  I suggest reading this book, Out of America if you want an eye opener.  Read the prelude there and I bet you will have a opinion change right away.
  Russia is better than it was under the Soviets but speaking up there is still a bad idea.  Journalists are still having "accidents" or strangely "dissapearing" while on assignment or vacation.
  North Korea.... can anyone name one GOOD thing that comes out of that place???
  So please, get your voice out there, make it heard.  Yes there are things over here that need work, plenty of them but when you look past your own little sphere of comfort here in this country and see what is happening overseas it will put into perspective how really good you have it over here.
