No way of proving it, of course, but I'd bet that for most of the last
decade and a half, that poor woman has been wishing fervently to die.

It is cruelty in the extreme to keep her in her vegetative state with
no hope whatsoever (beyond bead-rattling mystics chanting
incantations, or whatever passes for religion over there in the US) of
recovery.

She, Nature and "God" have decided she's not to live. It's only the
arrogance of the politicos and, in the past, the medics and her
misguided family that decided otherwise. Arrogant pricks.

And in such a simple way too:

"George, everything's running just fine, why don't you take a month or
two and have a nice holiday in Crawford".

(Packing suitcase) "You sure, guys? Gee, that's good of you"

How 100 million Americans can be so dumb as to elect a twat like him
in the first place, let alone twice in a row is so far beyond my
understanding as to be in the next galaxy.

Rampant self-interest.

I guess it's not too difficult to understand it really, huh?

Paul.

Maybe not in America. Europeans have a much better and wider view of
the world. I'd bet most Europeans are very aware of those as well.

I know I am.

And choose to deliberately pretend that their own genocide of Native
Americans didn't happen.

Revisionist historians - don't you love 'em?

Agreed. It was one depressing night's television watching, I must
admit. Not 100% over yet, but all indications... etc. :-((((((((

There is no "right" to secession. It always has to be fought for
either physically or politically.

ALL Americans worship flags of traitor ancestors - from a historical
English perspective.

You need to take a wider view on things like this.

Paul.

Peter, we have to be able to agree on language, or we can't have a
conversation.  You are crossing the lines on two different discussions:
racial prejudice and a class system, which tends to operate within a
homogeneous culture or ethnic group.  And the British system is riddled
with this kind of class-ist influence...from the schools attended, the
regions lived in, the grammar, the school tie....

I mean, c'mon...a culture where one's class can be defined instantly by
whether the person greeting you says "hello" "hullo" or "hallo" isn't
class oriented?
