Well, I can understand that iving in socialist Briton and loving it you
would wish the U.S. would be like you. But I assure you opportunity for
the entrenpreneur is still wide open here. So what you call bullshit we
call liberty which, if memory serves, we fought you blokes some time ago
to assure for ourselves and our posterity. As for prayer, perhaps you should
pray that we don't have to come over there again and help you defeat yet
another fanatic totalitarian regime. 

With best wishes,
Platt
