I've been reading quite a bit about this in the last couple of weeks while blog trawling and everytime I do I just feel furious and confused... but also, ultimately, powerless because I'm not American. I used to want to come to America because all the shows I watched were American and the stuff I'd heard made the place sound cool... but then I grew up and read more and realised that I have no desire to even visit. Stories like these just sure up my conviction.

Of course, I am now worried about some idiot over here wanting to follow the States since, you know, we seem to do that alot and not always seemingly in the most democratic of ways.
