Dear Editor: Both Ks (Kaminsky and Kirkman) present us with a debate on America that hasn't changed one iota since the 1950s and would make for funny parodies if it wasn't so pathetic. Basically, K1 wouldn't live in the States where it is as bad as he sees it unless he's either a total idiot or a junkie on US consumerism, while the very concept of "Yankee Go Home" wouldn't exist if the US fitted K2's picture of it.

As for Mr. Kirkman's question: "Why not follow up his letter and tell us just exactly what it is that we Americans should be doing.", I can only answer:

• Go out and vote massively, do it based on facts -- easier obtained in the US than anywhere else in the world -- and not on commercial media lies and political ads, communicate with elected representatives and ask for respect of the US Constitution, laws and civil rights. No, sorry, DON'T DO IT! You may be accused to be a Castro-communist drug pusher, the drug being participative democracy!

*Look at it from a very egoistic point of view, don't feel for some whacked-out niggers out there in the bush, just for precious little YOURSELVES! That is, most of ALL of the damage the outer world is accusing neo-liberalism of doing to them is inflicted upon YOU TOO.

The only difference is that you have a little more distance to fall than they do.

Well, W.'s little war games may be accelerating that pace too.
