10. Plain speaking scots
There is something about the culture of scotland, that wooly bullshit
does not float. The culture is plain speaking, and not violent,
expecially in the rural highlands. I find it to be one of the last
bastions of decent society in a world gone bonkers on commercial TV.

I know its impossible to do, but were americans able to impose a
television tax of 1000 dollars per TV, it would clean up the culture
radically, as those who are most debilitated by the tube could not be
in a position to afford it... resulting in a return to plain boring
life itself. Its too late, however, as pulling out the cable TV plug
is like taking away a heroin supply from an addict.
