Sitting there just making sure Jerry didn't get it. Freed up British troops so they could sit on the Faroe Islands doing the same thing...

Well, the guy pissed me off, he thinks everything American is a big convoluted conspiracy. I admit we have our faults here, all nations do. The difference is that we have more freedom to kick out bad politicians and bad corporations than most tightly regulated Europeans do, thanks to the higher level of freedom that our citizens enjoy. Rowland strikes me as the prototypical blowhard bellicose bigoted Brit'. We would cooperate and share research a lot more with the UK, were it not for people like Rowland. It just is not worth the effort, considering how conspiracy minded Rowland is, so screw him. Mark-
