IT WAS A JOKE!  I'm an American!  Sheesh...  Certain people here are
just looking for the worst in everyone.

I was commenting on the irony of the statement "It is an objective fact
that US culture has penetrated more into Britain than the reverse".
Like many statements starting out with "It is an objective fact" it is
anything but an objective fact.  Of course British Culture has heavily
penetrated American Culture!  WE WERE A BRITISH COLONY!  All our laws
are based on British Common Law, as are our courts, our schools, our
Language (It's called English, get it?), not to mention the millions of
adolescent boys who spent their teenage years watching Monty Python on
public television, hoping to see the episode with the naked woman.

Sheesh...
-Jim
