ENGLISH COURAGE

Greetings to the common and wealthy!

I know it has been sometime since I graced your cheap monitors and peripherals with a blog, but just as a rainbow crosses the sky after a storm, the great Chancellor of the Commonwealth has returned.

As I was sitting in my luxury, eating some delicious Spotted Dick (the dessert, not the perversion you disgusting ruffians!) and sipping on a tawny port, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves came on the tele. That piece of drat sickens me everytime I see it. Yes, Alan Rickman put on a fine showing as the Sheriff of Nottingham. But, the nerve of that bugger Kevin Costner playing an English legend. He should be whipped for his audacity.

However, there was one nugget from this movie: the phrase "English courage". I turned off the tele to listen to a few selections by the great composer Frederic Chopin. English courage--what could it mean? Could it be referencing the strength it takes for English to walk among Americans, exposing themselves to germs, low morals, and hypocrisy? With a President who has lead his country into a deficit, candidates of the same party mudslinging one another, and the other running for the position with his deathbed being prepared for him?

How does the International Champion USA look himself in the mirror in the morning, knowing that he is representing such a nation? Or maybe he does not think at all. Such is the method of most Americans to not utilize their brain and common sense. That is why it will take a man of English courage, such as Lord Lucius Kaine, to turn the situation around. With the International Championship, a great change can begin. Ineptitudes in schools will fall; secondary school graduate rates will rise; and the percentage of commoners will drop...actually I do not believe that can change--most American will always be commoners.

But perhaps the greatest sign of English courage will be that one day, the Commonwealth will be able to reach out...and actually touch an American without wearing gloves. And not sanitize themselves afterwards. Such a day appears unrealistic, but the Commonwealth will always be a beacon of hope to Americans.
