England has a lot of great things going for it: Boddington's, Guinness, Keira Knightely, Samantha Fox, "Are You being Served?", the MG. A major strike against England are its new anti-terorist laws.Remember when the Patriot Act came out in this country and everyone was in an uproar because the government could tap your phones and look at your e-mail bu no one you ever knew had anything bad happen to them? England's version of that is much, much worse. England doesn't just have these laws in place to stop terroism either. They are doing it for the protection of all English people. CCTV cameras are up in all the major cities, and I'm sure, if it was possible, they'd put them on every sheep and cow they could get their hands on.

The picture at the top of this page is a photograph of graffiti by Banksy. If you don't know who Banksy is, then you should check him out. At the link, whichi s his homepage, you'll see many examples of his work including his Guantanamo blow-up doll at Disney World and his post-Katrina work in New Orleans. He is a fascinating person.

Sounds a little too much like V for Vendetta....
Well V for vendetta was written in 1980's Thatcher-England by a Brit. I'm pretty sure you knew that, but it's always funny to me how many people think it's a direct indictment of the Bush administration. It's just a coincidence, although the message is still apt I guess.
