OH please! I regularly work in London, my son was half a mile from the Aldgate bomb, the whole family passes through London on a regular basis & I know two things: (1) I'd rather have my civil liberties than the "protection" of the authorities, UK or US (2) When there *are* problems I know just who to blame - Bush & Blair. Also it might be considered a tad insensitive to accuse folk in the States , who after all lost some three thousand in 2001, of not living in the real world... <These clueless idiots> Freedom means freedom to be a dickhead too... michael --- Tom Gosse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
