    More likely it's that we keep an eye on the US media, I don't know the name of any Finnish news channel, I don't have access to it, and even if I did, I wouldn't understand it. Fox and CNN on the other hand are listed under news in my Sky planner and Sky news repeats the US stuff ad nauseum.

    You realise that that was the thrust of the preceeding paragraph, right? The perception is because of familiarity.

    i'll field this - voting for george bush twice is as close as you can get to that stat.

    Have you not read the papers and seen who we've voted in?! Or better yet, seen who the British have not voted in, and yet have as their leader. At least the Americans got to vote. Eventually all governments go tyrannical or out of control. At least the Americans have the means to readjust their government should that time come. We all know how well things went down in Tienanmen square when unarmed protesters took to the street. Look at all the corruption rampant in our own governments - revolution is not an if, but when in most any civilisation. Simply look at our own past. We didn't carve out what we have now with hurleys.
