[SOC] You can't beat a bit of bush

[Reicher, James]

Not only did we end up with horrible tea and beer, we ended up with a
form of government in which we have to put up with the scoundrels for
the entire term, 2 years for Representatives, 4 for President, and 6 for
Senators, no matter what.

At least you Brits can dump 'em when you're sick of them!

Now that IS a good question!  I do know we have lousy tea now.  Some
guys 
who sailed to SriLanka frequently say they send the "floor sweepings"
over
here for U.S. market!
Also, we have some of the worst mass produced beer there is!  Only good
stuff
comes from a little brewery in Covington, LA called "Abita Brewery".  I
like
Abita Amber.  Kinda like British bitter.  Best beer I ever had was in
Antwerp
Belgium and also the U.K.  Also was some fair stuff at some of the
"Oktoberfest"
get togethers here.  Abita makes many brews: lager , amber, dark ales.
NEVER
got a hangover in spite of consuming many pints at times in U.K.
(Chelmsford,
Essex to be exact!)  Wonderful bloody stuff.  If I tried to get that
pissed over
here on "Yank" beer, I'd wake up with a swollen head and feeling awful!
(Except Abita..no preservatives)

| Well, that's me confused.

| I thought that the war was our revenge because you had thrown some tea
into
| Boston harbour.

| Who won by the way?
