That's true but I'm reminded of Wilburforce who faithfully introduced an anti-slavery bill in Parliament for approximately 20 years. He was slandered, vilified, insulted and yet in the end, his bill passed and slavery was officially abolished in England before we were able to finally decide that same issue at the cost of much blood.

We have to be careful here, the issue started out as state's rights but evolved into slavery.

Your point is well taken however. The PC crowd likes to believe that we are the only evil people on earth, meanwhile, slavery exists in the Sudan and many other places, they just turn a blind eye, I mean after all, they actually think that Iraq was better under Saddam.

bttt!

Jonah Goldberg has reflections on Britain which pretty much line up with my thoughts:

"...I can't shake the feeling that England is at a crossroads between becoming a post-historical theme park (like Belgium) where people care about shopping, pretty-boy soccer players and, um, shopping and staying true to its traditional role as an engine of historical progress. Reading the papers, watching British news, talking to folks all gave me the sense that the Brits are weary of being special and making people angry and want to be a normal country where the rules of the vast continental college campus across the channel apply. That seems to me to be what's at stake with Britain's choice to join the EU."
