For sure, they definitely are your typical barbarian idiots ("Americans" anglos), fed by quantitative easing. But all this doesn't matter much anyway, these days, so no need to bother.

Something strange happening with wordpress.com now apparently (where the images are), but they should get to 800 max wide soon.
