Calibasco,
forgive me if I don't pivk up on most of the thoughts in your last post. As for my country of origin, I thought I made it very clear that I'm from Spain. As you well know, we too in Spain "can walk down the street safe, vote my (our)conscience(s), speak my(our) mind(s)", except, of course, for the innocent victims of ETA who get blasted by a bomb or shot dead while taking their children to school or going to buy the paper. On a different note, we do not tend to think that freedom or democracy have anything to do with being able to watch 300 channels of digital-quality TV crammed with mindless crap and corporate publicity. I don't know the "Bladder buster" drink you mention, but it does sound good, I'll give you that!
