Here, most all major sporting events and the primetime TV lineup are broadcast in HD. The only primetime telecasts that are not in HD are a few 'reality' & 'news' shows. There is very little TV that I watch in recent years that isn't in HD.I think that's probably one of the big differences at the moment - 'mainstream' programs appear to be available in HD
Im not sure you really want to hear this, but here ya go. The UN virtually takes the leftist approach on every issue they face, and the reason you probably dont see the "leftness" of their approach is probably because you respect and agree with that approach. On the other hand, I would happily see the UN evicted from the USAs land & bankroll because I disagree with their approach to the issues. I realize they do perform some valuable aid functions, but beyond that.... the UN is for the most part....... worthless.Not sure I agree with your assessments/logic there.
I am well aware of the criteria.The criteria for calculating rankings included things that are pretty ambivalent to models of public/private ownership: life expectancy, education, income etc.
Name an issue..... tax policy, abortion, gun control, socialized health care....etc, etc, etc....How so? That doesn't really map with the current UK political landscape.
Please dont misinterpret my point, because they're a great country & great ally and friend to the USA. I'm just trying to point out that they take the 'left' position on a great number of issues. So does the USA, but not on as many issues as the Brits. I'm not trying to knock on them because I have great respect for it's citizens and Tony Blair
