You are UK, Scumbria is an American in UK for the moment. Baldur is in Iceland, Ray Duray is in Lala Land, and it seems like there are a few Canadians out there. Maybe it's not a lot.

I'm and American in the UK. Lots of Americans in the UK. I don't have an accurate number, but of the Americans that I'm aware of, it's in the thousands at a lower limit.

I'm not going to delve into jla's posts.

Tough to come up with 5 posts, isn't it? I set up a pretty high bar. Look at it this way, jla is a legal begal, law school, bar exams, etc. and what does he do with his life.

He sits in his office all day, writes one liners on SI, listens to Rush, and occasionally zips out to settlement. He processes property contracts, a compendium of standard paragraphs. He's got a nice set of certificates on his "I love jla, wall". What a profession ... property contracts. I think Title Searches illustrates the competency of the participants very well. Every time the property changes hands, there's a Title Search! The validity of the Title and previous Titles is researched.

You might think that a "good" prior Title research would be sufficient to allow only the most recent Title Change to be verified. But no, they have to research all prior Title changes. And after Title Search after Title Search, the financing organization is so confident in the validity of this legal assessment of valid Titles, they do what? Require the lender to pay for Title insurance. <LOL - the joke's on us>

Are you that difficult to get along with?

Easy to get along with. By choice, I interact with 3D people quite differently. Besides, my wife is a mathematician.

My sister is a mathemetician; her company is working on algorithms that draw conclusions about homeland security from internet traffic and such.

Good luck.

As for executing regimes, I guess we Americans have refined that to the point where the character is assassinated but the body lives on.

When did that happen?

Editorial Reviews
Ingram
The former U.S. Attorney General documents the horrors he witnessed while traveling through war-torn Iraq, delineating nineteen different points in which the U.S. government was in violation of international law, including the slaughter of surrendering Iraqi soldiers.

It's a tradition of the human species. We just prefer to not know we're not part of it. If all else fails, we minimize it by asserting "We're not perfect."
