      I'm not really aware of what happened in California, so what I say is more a feeling than a firm opinion: * it's sad that somebody without a real program can be elected just because of his impact on the media. * it's great that somebody who isn't a professional politician for years can be elected.

        Only as a bad example. We look to California as a leader in what NOT to do... "It takes a minimum of redesign to turn a crucifix into a pogo stick"

          You lost.;) I know 2 men more who think the same. But they are only two men... :( On the other hand if we say that exceptions always exist, maybe you are right. ;)

          Well I guess I wasn't obvious enough, I was just making a measly attempt to humour by implying that associating drugs and porn with a country would make it rise in perception. Excuse me now while I go search for my not-funny-whip :(

                  It doesn't matter what it really is or what Americans know it as. You asked for foreign perception and you got it :) I have to agree with Corinna though, seems like a bit of a strange place :-D. I think Arnie being governor is quite cool though :cool: I hope he does well.

                                    Don't know, but it just urks me when people are prejudice like that. I may as well say someone can't be a good governor because he is black or a woman. But since society doesn't jump down the throat of most prejudices, they aren't taboo and therefore ok to believe/say. :( Jeremy Falcon

                                        My perception of the USA is this: I don't think the USA really exists, it's something they made up in Hollywood....:cool: Looking at it that way, it all makes sense. ;)
