Works fine for me, and loads very quickly straight to
the YouTube interviews.
Yes, same here - I suspect those who are 'spam prone' probably weren't so
lucky?
Whatever....
As for the content, it's enjoyable, taken at face
value.
I think it's horrifying - for a little while longer at least, this bunch
of idiots are members of the most powerful nation on the planet. Still
powerful enough to suck our own 'leaders' in an out like just so much
fart
in a crowded room!
The US seems to have amongst its citizens some of the finest brains
on the planet, but also a huge percentage of poorly educated people.
According to the report by the American National Institute for Literacy,
reprinted in the Swedish newspaper Hufvudstadsbladet, 15% percent
of adults in the US do not reach the minumum standard of literacy,
and in cities like Detroit (close to where Arny lives:-) the level is
given
as 46%. 50 million do not have bank accounts because the "complexity"
of the ATM is beyond them.

I remember a few years back when working for an American company that they
were having an 'Over-achievers' company do in London. Most of the American
contingent refused to attend as they thought it was a bus ride to Bagdad.
