There's a USA-ian meme along the lines of "I can't imagine how bad something is". But they don't mean they are incapable of imagining it, rather it's almost "I can't imagine (as in realistically foresee) such a bad thing happening within my locality". -- Roland Perry |

My seat of education predates the USA so neither spells Globalisation with a Zee nor offers "101" courses as an introduction to the subject area.... |
