Most of us are fairly normal, law-abiding citizens trying to understand, as the nature of this thread, why the world has gone so out of control! It's an incredible heartache/heartbreak!

You have to remember Brian that most people in the world get their image of America from the US news media (and we all know that good news doesn't sell) and from Hollywood ... not too many on here know the US first hand ... I get over to New York fairly often, and apart from gallons instead of litres, and miles instead of kms, it is difficult to tell whether you are in Ontario or NY.
Having said that, if the US wishes to act as the world's policeman, then you have to take the flak that comes with the job and with the high profile that comes along with it. Especially as it is a toss up whether it is more dangerous to walk thro' Baghdad or Detroit.
How's your snake by the way? I hope you found a way of getting rid of it without killing it.
