Don't worry we have private armies of foreign nationals on our soil willing to do the "heavy lifting". Matter of fact, there an outfit composed of 20k of them just South of W. Kniei. It's a big outfit they make armored vehicels and other equipment there..... They come from all over the world to serve "us": Eastern Europe, S. America (there are some boys from Gen Pinochet's army there!),.....Gee Jerry do you think those boys will hesitate to use anybody as a sand bag? Did you know that nearly 200 of them served as security detail in New Orleans after hurricane Katrina?

Can't use a slide rule?? Thank God and integrated circuits for that! I've been around auto racing for most of my life and driving without a seat belt is just plain foolish IMO not a sign of rugged individualism. This falls into the same category as carrying a loaded weapon in the field with the safety off. The first time I hunt with someone who does that is the last time I hunt with them.
BTW: The crime rate is going off the charts in England from what I've been told. Maybe it has something to do with the fact it's just about impossible for honest people to own firearms.

Mass media often distorts and exaggerates crime rates. By using creative stat methods one can make anything seem possible. Locally one hears about: shootings, robberies,...... on almost daily basis yet when I checked local site monitoring police activity in 3 mile radius around me the most serious crime in last 3 months was a stolen ladder from an open garage!

Someone's knocking at the door, someone's ringin' the bell, do me a favor....bolt the door!
No longer a country of good ol'beans - the melting pot has overflowed into the streets. More beheading video dealers than fish'n chips vendors.

England has banned "samurai" swords? That's nothing, in some public/private school systems here in the good 'ol US of A kickball, dodgeball, tag, etc have been banned at recess due to overly aggressive little boys getting too rough (having fun). Boys everywhere are being emsculated by an overly feminine society that places no value on boyish play. "Play nicely children." is their mantra. Gentlemen, teach your sons to shoot and to not be afraid of banging heads on the playground.

PJ did you look at my post above? Did you look at the Hard Facts? Did you see anything in them related to "mass media"?

Does your knowledge about Gen. Pinochet come from having lived in Chile or from mass media?

Best,

I believe it is "in the woods", and no specific geographic location. Fitting address for a master hunter.

I would guess Poland or vicinity.

Trust you Nial, it's the Althing, back to about 900, longest continuous existing parliament. Had the pleasure of attending it once. The Brits are arrivists, really. The Scottish parliament merged with the English one in the early 1700's with the Act of Union; Ireland lost its parliament(dated to a Norman one c1250) in a subsequent Act of Union in 1801, caused by the fears of who w/could replace a mad German King and the mass bribery of the ruling Anglo-Irish so-called nobles. Says much about democracy and monarchy. Westminster's description as "Mother of Parliaments" is about as accurate as the "World Series" which I believe is a local ball game in the US.

I'm out of my depth here, obviously. Was Althing along British parliamentary model of popular assent, shared power and ministerial responsibility which most democratic countries use today, unlike the American system of separation of powers? In that sense, could GB be Mom to popular government?
