This I agree with wholeheartedly. I probably should have explained that I included this thought in my previous posting, but didn't explicitly say it. I didn't mean to be reactionary towards you, Nihil, but I keep watching my country that I love, which was founded on very simple laws and standards, keep on degrading and being abused by those in power who wish to twist things to their own ends. It's just sickening.
I am a proud American. I love the idea of my country. I will tend to get a bit touchy at times, but I imagine a lot of the touchiness comes from my disillusionment for what I see happening here. It seems like my words don't count, and the 'officials' are serving their own ends rather than serving the population. I still have the ideal in my head, but the politicos don't. It's like banging my head against a brick wall.
So, heaven forbid, a Brit says that our Constitution is weak or faulty. Nationalism is not the best thing, but I can't help but keep alive the ideals that our beloved USA was founded on (the Constitution).
I didn't mean to turn this post into a rant, but there it is. Nihil, no hard feelings. The USA is turning into something that I don't like, and I feel powerless to change it. It's frustrating.
