I do a lot of UK bashing in some ways. Credit where it is due I suppose.

It isn't the situation wherever, it's defending the indefensible wherever it happens to be. Thats what I am seeing here. Getting touchy about your laws is one thing, putting nationalistic pride before morality is quite another.

Gibb Sahib speaks as if nobody other than Americans know America. Putting aside the cringing "hood" reference, which was at least funny, the international business machine has sold The USA to the point where its values are exported.

Perhaps thats why it comes under such scrutiny.




Personally, I like the bit about making kids put their right hand on their breast and chant some absurd notion about "land of the free." Up till fairly recently, I lived both sides of the ubiquitous pond on and off, and to be honest, I decided my kids stood a better chance being raised over here for just about every reason.

But don't let that stop big business interest keeping your kids unsafe and your unhinged weirdos armed to the teeth.
