Well Acme, you Greg and Jeri are not the only Americans that I know.
I have several "real world" friends there AND a large extended family who have lived in the US for nearly one eighty years.

Does Jeri really think that Greg needs "provoking", that post was unworthy of someone who I supposed to be a mod?
There are still a few proper trolls here, but I have never been one, I am motivated by a real interest in US foreign affairs and the intricacies of the US political system.

It seems pretty bizarre to most people in the UK.
It also seems bizarre that people who continually press for public services and reform of the social system see any point in voting for a candidate who is wedded to the establishment and corporation interests, over someone who shows all the signs of being a real reformer?
