shall I confess that I actually went to some trouble to remove the US flag from the menu bar of my new mac (it was there because I'm using English-US as my language and the icon popped up automatically)? Because I hate seeing little US flag all over everything; it seems to me to be a symbol of xenophobic chauvinistic flag waving that is hated around the world and I won't be forced to participate! grrr argh LOL
I actually find it very easy to understand Barack Obama (and his wife Michelle, when she implied that she has been ashamed of the USA), it seems to me that the things they get criticized for are things I could have said myself. I find it easier to identify with them than the Clintons, the gamesmanship crap is just too much for me.
