I’m afraid of americans. Not all americans, mind you, but still i sometimes view americans with the same fear i would view a child with a gun. Here’s a little story when writer Elena Lappin flew to LA to research and write for Guardian, and got canned because she ticked the wrong box on that entry form you fill in (and ticked off the wrong border guard, it seems) — the one that say’s you’ve not been a member of the nazi party/communist party/mafia/press. Yay.
