| Message | Why take the choice away from parent to send their kids to a proper school with discipline? Far better to be beaten by a teacher for doing wrong than beaten by a bully, every day, who in turn goes unpunished! |

| Message | Listen, the United States doesn't have capital punishment, and guess what; it's the worlds sole super-power. Just because we don't beat our children doesn't mean we are weak; it means we are wise. Violence is the first-resort of the weak. |

| Message | What's wrong with using the worlds sole Super-power, the conquerers of communism, the masters of space, and the land of the morbidly obese? Hmmm... should have left that last part out... |

| Message | Intelligent design, reality tv, corporatism, militarism, George Walker Bush, numerous bad sitcoms, Donald Rumsfield, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Lewis Libby, Hollywood, Microsoft, private healthcare, homophobia in the military, mangling of the English language, the war on terror, the CIA, numerous despots and dictators being support in preference to democracy, capital punishment (soon to be 1000th death), legal to own guns, cultural hegemony, economic hegemony, etc, etc, etc. Do I need to continue? I have no problem with the Americans on an individual basis. But the country (its government and culture) is not exactly a good example to use in the creation a progressive and enlightened society, |
