Pol, send the article to me....
And kind of related, the trend in the USA for treating the symptom not the cause is something that is really irritating me at the moment - there was a council somewhere in the states that was awarded something in the region of $160,000 to "stamp out" gothic culture, as everyone knows, wearing a black trenchcoat clearly indicates that you're a fledgeling spree killer.
I know that there are plenty of sensible people there (even though we mainly only hear about the ones that aren't) - it's just very worrying that people are wandering around major airports looking for shoe bombs, people with long black coats and liberal voters with the express intent of locking them up cause, well, they're suspicious, aren't they?
