So I've been away for two weeks to get married in the USA. Radiohead chose the two weeks I had no internet access to release their album online. First impressions; bland and uninnovative.
On the plane back I saw the movie 'Heaven Almighty'. This is a sequel to 'Bruce Almighty' and besides being a crap movie it is scarily right wing religious. It basically brings the Noahs ark fable to today. There is no questioning of the tale or of religion in general. When hollywood makes huge brainwashing propaganda pieces like this which contain no balance or irony then I have to fear for all those people in America who aren't given space to think for themselves by their culture.
Things about the USA which annoy;
* A lack of lane discipline is a recipe for traffic chaos
* Lawyers who drum up business on TV
* Everyone uses their mobile while driving
* Cars don't need to be that big and should have cleaner exhausts
* Religion on TV with no balance or questioning
* Biased TV (Fox especially). Gor bless the BBC
* Tips and sales tax - can't you just add these to the ticket price?
* The coins are too similar
Things I love;
* The food
* The low prices
* Most people are polite and welcoming
* Things just seem to work, like the the way the theme parks are run
* Free refills
