Aksherly, some of us _do_ come from another planet -- the planet Europe.

We couldn't give a shit what your chickenfucking secret police get up
to with your dissident anarchist fringe. We've got more important issues
to worry about, like who will underwrite the BSE cattle cull, or the
subsidiarity debate, or the social chapter of the Maastricht II treaty
.

Unless you're invoking extraterritoriality -- in which case someone ought
to tell the French, they've got enough nuclear powered carrier battlegroups 
to annoy Clinton -- we _aren't_ part of the problem. We simply couldn't
give a flying fuck what your corrupt government officials get up to.

Get the message?

Now fuck off out of alt.peeves.
