Crikey. I do not know what has been discussed on this thread since I posted yesterday, but the symantec firewall software we have has denied me access to about 2 pages of Posts on the basis that they contain restricted material..

What is going on? did Geo simply ruin our fun debate by reverting to simple swearing? has someone got smutty? what is going on?

BTW, in response, the European press does not represent America (generally) as a fascist police state.. what it does do is generally challenge quite a lot of the preconceptions many people have (including many Americans) about their own country. You have to remeber that America is not always well liked in the world community (the government policies, not individual Americans).

Geo, my chums at Cravath Swaine & Moore are going to email me the American Bar Associations recent synopsis on Freedom of Speech. I will send it to you (I have your eddress at home)... you will find it interesting and I will take a can of any non-American beer as a suitable apology)
