Hey, Lenin and everybody,
<snip>
No wonder the British--you know, the ones who murdered each other over popery v. Luther
and throw adolescents in jail for decades over some stolen bread--can retort about
Americans being "uncivilised". Because, well, the political is personal and
neologisms mark someone as an erudite scholar.
Since Richard is Irish, this comment is rather irrelevant - as well as
being ignorant of the history of the Reformation in Britain. And since
heretics were also persecuted and even killed and thieves were executed
in the English-speaking Americas it's also an ahistorical non-criticism.
Indeed today in the US under the "three strikes" laws it's quite
possible to get life without parole for stealing a piece of bread.
