Though the first one was only elected in 1960.. (And good luck
getting there if you're Jewish). Anyway, President != Queen,
President is more like Prime Minister and Queen rolled into one.

THAT to you?!!"


Oh well, it pays for a national health service and helps them not
embarrass themselves with the abominations which are SUVs

But you know what? I've been here long enough to figure out that the
whole thing is a pretty well-damped pendulum. It swings one way, it
swings another - sometimes with a period of a decade or two - but
never too far. It *works*.


Hey, just a thought. That whole war on terror thing... whatever
happened with all those anthrax-laced letters? "Weapons grade"
stuff, rumours of terrorist nations producing it, then all of a
sudden... silence! Hmmm, doesn't it bother anybody that an entire
$400 billion war was fought over WMD, when in fact there was none
there, but the only time actual WMD -WERE- actually found, -INSIDE
CONGRESS NO LESS-, everyone has forgotten completely about it?

Funny the way this world works. If it does.
