oh my, i don't believe i've ever read anyone from the UK who said they "respect" americans and their ability to interpret the world.
nice to meet you simon!
that said, i have to say to both you and angela and anyone else who's reading: i don't get why USers are more likely to accept state socialism???? there are all sorts of reasons why USers, it seems to me, are more likely to reject the state and state planning.
