As far as I can see the whole world has gone stir crazy, but you Americans appear to be leading the pack! Lawsuit after lawsuit, for the most trivial of things. Your Constitution states the right to free assembly and speech, yet these rights are slowly being eroded. And what do you do as a nation? Nada, that's what. You have yound men, displaying obsessive, pathalogical behaviour, turning up at school and murdering innocent colleagues. The UK has it's social problems, of course - Seems to have increased significantly since the proliferation of violent Hollywood-made films though, don't you think??
It strikes me that the American public in general is very naive - Has no-one over there heard of the FEMA? An organisation that assumes total power in the event of a "state of national emergency" being declared, over and above the President/Congress. The FEMA assumes total and absolute control of all telecommunications, transportation and residential property, and that's just for starters! These are scary times indeed.
What is even more worrying for me, an Englishman, is what secrets lie in wait for my own (once) great nation. Interesting:- US intelligence agency train operatives at RAF Menwith Hill, UK, on our Public Telephone System! Outrageous!

Absolutely, quite agree! Besides, "Capricorn One" was one hell of a film!
