Like flogging a dead horse ..... I didn't want Britain to go into Europe but I don't bleat on about it now, it is years ago and the harm is done we have to live with what we have, not what we would wish nor what might have been.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;  I am also unhappy about many aspects of immigration here, though from a different perspective than yours, no doubt :-) &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I don't like our Parliament being so all powerful either,  school curriculum's, hospitals etc etc etc  laws, laws laws, and then when they are seen to be unworkable ,amendments, amendments and amendments til we are back where we began but it is now LAW ! &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;So, give me another definition please :) xxxxx&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Being an un-American my self I have</title><link>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/2951002.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2009 08:11:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8e55aff1-63ee-4857-a1e9-69fccb83d317:2951002</guid><dc:creator>predicto</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/thread/2951002.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.slate.com/discuss/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=2088264&amp;PostID=2951002</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;Unamerican doesn't mean free-thinker.
