Hey, that Empire's still making itself felt thousands of years later. We'll see if other ones stack up as long. It's pretty amazing that here in 2004 I still know that Gallia est omnis est divisa in partes tres!
It's nice that all those non-Americans have such clear instructions, though. I mean, we help you out by telling you what you're supposed to say in almost any situation. No, you can't have an opinion who our president is. Yes, you're supposed to agree with that president on everything, especially if it affects you!
Disclaimer: my country is guilty of this too, given how much my Prime Minister likes to suck Bush's cock. And then they are against gay marriage. Go figure.)
LOL!
One of the funniest things about this election is in the US you can see how attached people are to their *region,* which isn't really surprising. It's just weird that only certain regions seem to see themselves as being the "real America." Of course I've known for a long time that my own area isn't the real America since it's not "the heartland" or the south, but it's just weird that those regions have for some reason decided to define themselves that way and people buy it. Not that everyone in those regions thinks that way, of course. It's just that myth seems to be attached to certain areas more than others, not just in a half-joking way or a "pride in my region" way, but literally.
