2. They think the UK is anti-american
3. They think Bill C was the biggest piece of crap.
4. Didn't know the IRA were terrorists
5. Think the crap US economy is purely Bill C's fauly
6. Think GWB will learn from tony B to be a great orator
7. CNN = clinton news network and fox news is the only one to watch
these people are financially successful, both with degrees
my only comment is to say that to #6 you can't make a silk purse......
I'm still in shock and the wine has not lessened it at all

It'd be interesting to see if these same friends's views alter at all after a year, say, living in the UK.
