11. As bad as it is, I'm much happier here... Thank you.
"England is a country of sheeple willing to accept whatever the government tells them is in their best
interest."

After all, they elected George W. Bush.

As I posted, "possibly in our future too". The sheeple of Great Briton just seem to be be about 5-10 years ahead
of us in that regard. Even more telling, they seem to be willing to accept their fate.


OOOPS!! I got confused there for a minute.

A minute? Better check your watch, it's running a little slow.

It wouldn't occur to me to say such piggish things about the country whose "sheeple" actually did do that, and any
number of other equally stupid and evil things. The fact that one of them would say it about the population of
another country ... well, what's really being said, and about whom ...


As bad off as we are, we haven't quite lowered ourselves to the level of pervasiveness that the royal subjects have willingly accepted.


Acerbic said just about all that needed to be said about the article itself, and quite well, too.

Ideas (good or bad), usually start with one person. If the willingness of entire towns/villages to come forward by offering
too submit DNA samples doesn't tell you something about the complacency of the populace...

For the British, it takes something as simple as a rape. For us, it took 9/11. Big difference.
