Kumara, where did I moan about the USA? I do, from time to time about certain things, but I seem to be more in favour of it than most Americans these days. For example, I think it was a good thing that King George II attacked Saddam [not that I'd have done it, but if he and his soldiers wanted to, it was reasonable - now Saddam won't fund any more suicide bombings]. Also, it was great that King George II took the tax off dividends. Good for him. And it's nice that he faces down Hu Jintao and co over Taiwan. He's even selling a bunch of equipment to Taiwan now. Also, it looks as though Iran won't be given a pass to go nuking infidels, apostates and anyone else they decide needs to be fried and blasted. King George II can figure out, unlike dopey Geode, Sarman and the like, that Iran, with vast megabarrels of hydrocarbons doesn't need nuclear power. There is an expression - taking coals to Newcastle. Plus, I like to go to Hawaii and enjoy the weather and facilities. I don't see any reason not to moan about things I dislike, or laugh at absurdities. It's always amusing when people try to stem criticism as though being part of something means one has to surrender one's brain and turn into a mindless Zombie. No thanks. Mqurice
