I find it amazing that (some) people on this list continue to naively look at this as such an extreme black and white issue. That someone's viewpoint has to either be "I'm American and I say f*** the World" or "I hate America and so does the rest of the world". Everyone doesn't hate America. Everyone doesn't love America. That's true of America, the UK, Iran, China, and (OMG!) even all of us as individuals! I increasingly see a viewpoint of "Oh my god people why can't you see what is so plain to me that absolutely everyone on the planet totally despises the USA and you guys are screwing everything up in the entire world?". That's simply not true, everyone doesn't agree with you. Some people do, some people don't. Surrounding yourself with a blanket of data supporting your point of view and ignoring all other data has a name - Ignorance. I see more irony here since those who seem to be blind to everything but evidence that the US is hated - these are the same ones accusing everyone else of being ignorant to their own personal (incomplete) world view. -Cameron ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:199748 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
