b) we as citizens need to be proactive in defending those traditions,

Alas, any stupid laws that the US passes are happily echoed by the legislatures of a number of other countries, including mine - Australia. It is very much like being another US state - but without a vote. Both sides of our parliament are enthusiastic to varying degrees about US "relations" and policy - read, doing what the US says.

If it continues to get worse at the rate it has for the last 4 or so years, soon I'll be hoping we try to join the US! At least that way we'd get a say in things....
