Not me ! I abhor American culture, which has destroyed our social
infrastructure and has imported all that is unhealthy, mentally and
physically, to my country. Fast cars ? Been there ! Sex ? It's an
over-rated pastime. I don't speculate of gamble, because someone always
loses. If not me, then someone else. TV is full of rubbish. Fat food ?
I'm a vegetarian. Drugs ? Ah go on. I like a glass of uisge beatha
(Well.....I'm a Scotsman and who's perfect ?!) Never had a nuclear bomb,
but don't particularly want one. While the number of immigrants from the
Indian sub-continent is decried by many in this country, I personally
believe Britain is now doomed, and will go the way of all other previous
empires. I welcome Eastern culture, which, as a possible antidote to world
wide Americanisation, might just save us from total ruin.

HOWEVER. I draw the line at selling my Harley Davidson just to be
politically correct ! :o)))
