Colin, let me just start out by saying that even the question you ask is so loaded as to not deserve a reply. "Hate it or love it" implies that either I am in or I am out. No abilty to love some of it, hate some of it, and feel nothing about most of it.
I don't have that black and white view of my own country, so why should I have it about yours?
Sorry, your question is yet again (as CJ pointed out) another dull attempt to get me to post up an opinion you don't like, so that you can attack the person, not the idea. That is what most world events / political / international discussions have come down to here, and honestly, it's dull as white toast no butter.
More importantly, I am saddened when I receive email from people who use to post "opposing" views that have stopped because they too have become tired of being the "whipping boy" (or is that "whipping person"?) for the mob.
Ideas are like children, inbreeding makes them dumber - the less people in the idea gene pool, the more likely you are to be discussing self-serving nonsense.
Alex
