Fair enough. I spent 30+ years in the States and know a lot of Americans, not a single one would support this. There are aberrations, and because they are aberrations those are the ones that make news and often colour our views of countries and people.
I'm in a no-man's land. Sometimes I feel the need to correct what I think are over-generalisations about the States here and I frequently have to do the same when talking to friends and family back home when they read stories about the UK or Europe. It's all a ball ache and often an exercise in futility.
I'm probably just feeling ornery as it's my turn to make dinner and this steak and kidney pie is fucking me off. It's massively labour intensive in spite of what the recipe claims.
