subjects (such as the English are politer than Americans and all Europeans live longer than Americans) that simply aren't provable or borne out by the facts. I made no claim on the exchange between you and I that English are politer. And I never said that all Europeans live longer than Americans. But it's fairly easy to pull up life expectency statistics and see that the US has a lower life expectency than in western Europe. One could make the logical argument that they are upset because our products are cheaper thanks to smaller subsidies, but I won't. One could try, but it wouldn't be logical and it certainly conflicts with the story that I provided you. I will defer instead to your obviously superior knowledge of all things everywhere. Typical response from someone that can't defend their position and doesn't have the personal character to admit it. jttmab
