'...Yes, we DO protest your country ...' screams Valerie
perched on the barricade & waving her phrygian cap
- then adds, with commendable honesty '... besides, that's
the first thing young europeans learn to do ...' (having
in mind, I presume, among others, the cheese-walloping,
ozone-checking, tree-hugging, cyclists of Amsterdam.)
She can hardly make herself heard, of course, above
the chorus of sensitive young libertarians on the other
side of the Atlantic falling over themselves in their haste
to malign their own country & its leaders.
Well, thank God senescence has finally excused me from
the compulsive conformity of the young. And thank God
my membership of the Island Race exempts me from
membership of the European brotherhood.
I remember rather too clearly when liberty was last
overwhelmed in Europe. I remember how resolutely
'Europeans' fought for it then.
I remember too how despised the Yanks were in those days.
Oh yes. No end.
But not by me.
Scottie B.
