Subject: RE: BS: Ban anti-depressant drugs, not guns
Spelling "America" as "Amerika" goes back to the radical movements of the late 1960s. It indicates a derisive viewpoint of the US, particularly a view that the country's leadership and policies are repressive and imperialistic. The "K" was probably drawn from "KKK" (Ku Klux Klan), the white supremacist group which epitomizes repression in the US.
