Good idea, this would underscore the difference between what our founders had in mind in contrast to the nonsense the demohacks are trying to create... GZ

REASONS WHY THE USA AND BRITAIN ARE BOTH SO GREAT Posted By: Ghost Date: Monday, 13 December 2004, 1:20 p.m. Reasons why the USA and Britain are both so great In the spirit of Christmas - we ARE allies after all... 1) Our military operations are more succesful when we're fighting alongside eachother (WW2, Iraq1, Iraq2, Peace in Northern Ireland). 2) If it wasn't for you we'd be speaking German; if it wasn't for us you'd be speaking French. 3) You put a man on the moon; we put a civilised man on most of the earth. 4) Of the 3,000+ that died on 9/11 - 67 were Brits. We fight these islamofascist bastards together as a result. 5) 200 years ago you politely told us to bugger off. So instead we went and fought the French. You got independence. And we whupped their cheese-eating arses. Good result all round I'd say. 6) Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. Enough said. 7) A lot of your places are named after the old country (New England, New Hampshire, etc); a lot of our High Streets are named after the colonies (Macdonalds, Pizza Hut, etc). 8) You have given us The Sopranos and South Park; we have given you Pride and Prejudice and Monty Python. 9) If you look in the dictionary of countries, the United Kingdom and the United States are listed alongside each other. Kinda apt really. 10) We invented loads of sports and taught the rest of the world how to play them; you invented loads of sports and don't really care if the rest of the world doesn't play them. 11) We realise that if you tried to combine both our countries it wouldn't work. It'd be a disaster. It'd be Canada. 12) The most intelligent Americans I have ever met are Anglophiles; the most successful Brits I have ever met are Amerophiles. 13) We wanna be part of your country more than California does. And I think you'd probably prefer us. 14) You took our ideas on modern democracy and improved them; we took your ideas on rock n roll and improved that. 15) We can empathise with each other over Hillary Clinton/Cherie Blair. 16) We'll quite happily set Christopher Hitchens on Michael Moore, if you send Rush Limbaugh after George Galloway. 17) London is the city you visit most outside of North America; New York is the city we visit most outside of Europe. 18) The reason we're such a staunch ally is because we're clever enough to realise that you could squash any country you wanted. Feel free to use the Channel Tunnel when you invade France. 19) Angelina Jolie and Kate Beckinsale. Enough said.
