You think you can go around the world killing people with impunity, imprisoning them illegally and torturing them. Now THAT'S arrogance!

Danged right it is! Let's see: the US was responsible for 800 years of Irish repression, including pitch-capping and the Penal Laws; the Highland Clearances; the removal of the Acadians; St. Brice's Day; Bolton; Glencoe; Waxhaw; Peterloo; Amritsar; Croke Park; Qissa Khwani bazaar; Miami Showband; Milltown; Greysteel; Cherry Valley. And let's not forget the wonderful human rights supporter Cecil Rhodes...and those who taught such nice things as giving smallpox-infected blankets to Native Americans. It was the Americans who created drawing and quartering, boiling alive, gibbeting, the Little Close, and the Bowstring.

And that's just a few things the US is responsible for....

As for television and food -- don't watch it and don't eat it and it will soon go away.
