Off topic - apologies.
You know what they say - when America sneezes, everyone catches cold. Many, if not most, Americans are very parochial, including George W. Bush, and don't know what goes on outside their own village let alone their own country. This is very dangerous. We can't afford to ignore what happens in other countries especially one as influential as the United States. Remember Germany in the 1930s, Rwanda and, more recently, the former Yugoslavia?
Anyway, so much of our TV, and hence our language and culture, comes from the US these days, we can't help noticing what is happening over there.
Back on topic - barely!
