Nevertheless I've seen hundreds of series and movies where yanks extoll vigilantism, justify police power abuse and entrapment, and countless other practices that go against freedom and democracy under the excuse that the system does not work. And then they fill their mouths saying they fight for freedom, or democracy, as if they were the only democratic or free country. They are also dumb enough to equate both words, which is of course a major stupidity. El 09/11/12 18:32, geoff escribió: > Its a pretty bad sign I admit...
