Lots and lots of guns. They are an intrinsic part of the "freedom" thing. (And the "responsibility" thing, too - they seem to go hand-in-hand.)<BR/><BR/>Google "2257A." Even with all the guns, freedom is still swirling its way down the drain.<BR/><BR/>-DonD.

If you want something that's really in the middle, try us "Canucks", strong Brit roots, with a very strong Yankee influence. Way fewer guns than down south, use most of the same language as them as well, but we use the British spelling for most words.Michaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30786249.post-85770580841963715422007-08-03T09:57:00.000+01:002007-08-03T09:57:00.000+01:00Oops, my bad.

The result of living in a surveillance society. Our government is currently sneaking through a new law which will fingerprint and iris scan every 5 year old child ! On top pf the constant camera monitoring and DNA database, I find this an encroachment on our civil liberties.<BR/><BR/>Lela, "What ho!" and thanks for the nice comment!Linhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02276948718081506756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30786249.post-73043626578236946602007-07-25T03:23:00.000+01:002007-07-25T03:23:00.000+01:00Here here! Good show ol' chap! <BR/>Is that good Brit speak, for a midwestern woman?? <BR/>And, I must say... fingerprints or not, America would be much better off with you two as part of its "melting pot"! And I'd just love to meet you and hear your Brit accents! Keep up the wonderful posting Lin... much better then most of these Yanks! HA!<BR/><BR/>:) LelaLelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07369125453675875094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30786249.post-62863400154975214852007-07-25T01:11:00.000+01:002007-07-25T01:11:00.000+01:00Interesting post Lin. As being of neither nationality I can agree with your observations on both. Us Australians are stuck in the middle with British roots but huge American influences since WWII.<BR/><BR/>What is the prob with being finger printed?Saintzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15414834038097721798noreply@blogger.com
