Subject: RE: POL: TAX REBATE II
Hmmm... sounds like another "Subject of the Queen" advising the "former colonies" on how to manage our affairs.

I have been under the impression that the currently "United States of America" sort of settled the issue of just who was going to run us with another "George" back around, oh, what was it... 1781? Nice try in 1812; you almost got us back... but the flag I just raised on my garage (must get a bigger pole now that GWB is making it not quite such a disgrace to admit to being an American, as it seems to have been over the previous 8 years)- much like the one over most of this and the other 49 States - was NOT the "Union Jack". And the song I sang right out loud before God and everybody else within earshot as I raised it (to turn back to Music for a moment) was NOT "God Save The Queen".

From what I gather, things back in Ye Auld Counterie are not all that Utopian, despite the apparant affection it's leadership seems to bear toward Marxist and Lenninist theories of the ideal social order.

... perhaps we might get our own affairs in order prior to advising the rest of Human Civilization as to how to go about it, eh wot Mate?
