the way that Americans conduct their foreign policy - as if nothing outside
our personalised and armoured bubbles were real. Whereas Americans, at least
in cities, tend to drive with stately, multilateral care." Andrew Brown in the 7/03/04 Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/wormseyeview/story/0,13268,990808,00.html
Well, with their new speed cameras, that right, as with many rights in
Britain, are going out the door. I wonder if the writer really spent much
time driving in big American cities, such as LA and New York Maybe the fact
the British drive on the wrong side of the road has something to do with
that terror. Being from many cultures, I find Americans drive in many and
varied ways -- hard to generalize. Of course, those American left lane
sitters are especially despised in Europe. This "stately, multilateral
care" may actually be a zombie like state -- watch out!
