This paradox is illustrated by a statement a man in London said when the Argentinians invaded the Falklands. "Have they been watching too much of our telly? We're a piratical, warrior people. How do you think a tiny island dominated half the world? I really feel sorry for the poor Argies." During the Cold War the most dangerous job was seen as flying Tornado bombers. Only Brits volunteered. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
