It makes me mad

With the neteller fiasco and the whole USA internet poker situation, I am beginning to feel it was about time everyone put the American government into its place.
The worse thing is its the whole of the country, the individuals that will suffer because of it.

It's not very often I get political, but I remember when 9/11 happened, there was a young woman on the tv asking why 'people hated her country so much', sadly the way that government conducts itself answers the question for her. It's not a personal attack against her, its an attack on the way the government can think it can rule the world. (I am not detracting from the horror that this sort of terrorism brings, for that would be holy unjust, least not to forget that there are many soldiers fighting for the right to be bring freedom).

Which leads to the old chestnut, land of the free, as long as you do as we say not do as we do. All ready pointed out isn't that Communism?

I can rant and rave about its double standards on gambling, porn and the amounts of money that seems to swap hands in that government, but it has been covered well now in many articles.

The mention of the USA getting involved in our (UK) banks dealings, really boils my blood. But I'm hoping that we can get through this, and basicially tell them where to stuff their views and options. A threat to vote to BNP in the next by-election or main election usually shifts our government into thinking twice with any dealing. (I'm not saying anyone should vote for them, they hold not virtue values as far as I can see, but just mentioning it, makes our government squirm enough to get things done. You only need to look in our recent past to see that).

I think if the worse comes to the worse I'll open up a bank account in a communist country transfer money in there and wait and see the USA government try and impose itselfon those countries instead, maybe they might get the message then.
