It's always interesting to hear folks trot out that 'hand gun' deaths statistic. As if it's the only weapon ever used... But overlooking that neat bit of statistical manipulation... what do the Irish and Scottish members of the 'UK' have to say about the shining traditions brought to them by the English? Folks used to be hung 'by the neck until dead' for being bards in Ireland just to prevent certain songs from inspiring the locals to... well, whatever it was supposed to inspire them to do. Dance, maybe? And I do believe I've heard of this place called Belfast... many handguns there? Or are fully automatic assault rifles pretty much the weapon of choice? We may let every idiot 'get his hands on his gun', but I'm hard pressed to think of any idiots we've let take them from our collective hands. Many of those idiots tend to have ordinal numbers after their first names... perhaps you're familiar with a few of these? But to be sure, I do NOT judge any person from the UK to be a land-grubbing, wife-raping, inbred bastard. Nor do I expect some of the more amazing morally bankrupt episodes of England's past to indicate behavior of your current society any more than I expect anyone to judge me and mine based on past American travesties. And you may not agree with our Constitution... that might be expected even, considering the history of our countries. Don't move here would be my advice. I can't claim to live in a perfect country, but I don't point out glaring flaws in other countries to make mine seem somehow superior. I will take comfort in the fact that when your post is viewed by the majority of folks familiar with American history, the overwhelming thought is going to be "Didn't they fight a war over the creation of their country? One that was, in principle at the very least, solely based on freedom?" But what really concerns me is that I don't see the point of your post. I'm sure you had one other than bashing America. I mean, we're talking about the exploitation of a class of people that are historically incapable of an adequate defense of themselves and least experienced at dealing with the forces arrayed against them. So surely you came to offer some help/advice to them... even to support the program in question. Or are you saying that due to our 'long tradition' we should abandon the fight and take to the sidelines to view the fallout? For the record (and to segue back to the subject at hand), I can't think of anything more degrading (on so many levels) to the average teenager than this program... short of being forced to pose nude for skin magazines based on the recommendations of their fellow classmates. And I'll fight any such legislation that subjects anyone to this sort of horror, whether or not I live in what you deem an ideal society...
