Very much so snoopster - 23/04/2004 10:24:38 AM

The US for some reason, is incapable of any sort of criticism, without labelling the person a hippy or a communist. They're always fired up about civil liberties and free speech, and at the same time seem oblivious to how they are being stripped of it all.

It seems to have got worse in the last few years - Bush has used 9/11 and the follow up to make anyone who disagrees with him seem Anti-American. Scary.

Here, we're always poking fun at the government, seriously and critically, as well as satirically and light.

It's pretty much the same in every Western country as far as I know apart from the US
