You refer to "British-ness" but I think many people would find greatly different national traits in the English than in the Welsh or Scots. It is misleading to lump them all together, I think. And Eden, I think you'll find that an emormous number of Brits (all nations) do NOT hold Margaret Thatcher in high regard! You also refer to an intelligent approach to matters of the heart...I would ask, is there such a thing?

Juliet asks this question because she belongs to the Capulet family, and Romeo is in the Montegue family - her family's arch enemy. Hence, her question. Why do you, the boy I'm falling in love with, have to come from a family with whom I'm forbidden to associate? The accurate quote is “Wherefore art thou, Romeo?” and means: WHY are you Romeo.

We, the persons of British-Ancestry, are noted for our intelligent approach to matters of the heart; American people are so quick to marry on a spur of the moment whim, but such alliances are becoming a parody of happiness: why a television show called wife-swap, etc. etc. Who cares how often you can laugh or at what? It is the way the cards fall, not how much levity you can find in it. I have often be accused of being a machine, or cold, or a five-letter word; why? Because a woman who thinks with her head the way a man is praised for is considered fearfully in control: Americans are too scared to have a female president, regardless her control of mental faculties and her ambition, strength, and ability to maintain discipline. Americans do not reward a woman's abilities the way Britain did: Margaret Thatcher anyone? ;-) This article is an insult to the intelligence of all persons of English-Descent, and I do not mind saying so.
