In Australia, just for comedy, we sometimes watch the American Cable TV News, a thinly disguised propaganda campaign. Other times we have the comedy option of the American `Real Life' Police shows, also a hysterical option. We see the victimless `crimes' be treated like they matter. It's like the callous humour of watching an epileptic fit or an intellectually handicapped person be confused by a vending machine but, nonetheless, amusing. Like really, who would bother going to a Mardi gras where the Police want to enforce Draconian laws regarding `decency' in an environment and time set aside for consenting party behaviour or getting a plainclothed Police officer to solicit for prostitution (illegal out here) to trap `criminals' etc? As if bare skin or fun time public adult behaviour are more important issues than Homelessness, Education, Public Health, Aged Care, Soldiers blown to bits for the Corporate gain etc. From outside it looks like the land of the free to be repressed manipulated and degraded by those who would like to make the constituents a compliant subservient group of minions. Sadly we in Australia have a democracy where our current Head of State is nowadays referred to as `Bonsai' (a small Bush) so we are probably now the junior laughingstock by association.It's a little harder to laugh at the US murder/suicide rate, the STD and pregnancy rate in the youth (as punishment for `wayward' youth kept ignorant in the hard line support of religious based values from a century or two ago) or the human cost of there not being a Society Sponsored Health or Housing minimum standard guaranteed for every citizen of the society. These are social responsibilities even many much poorer Countries provide their citizenship as basic Human Rights.
