We probably do the same thing with the US, believing all sorts of fables 
about them that aren't actually true.

The UK pulled all guns in the 90's. Violent crime quadrupled.

I don't think I can bear to get into this one again. But there is something
I find surprising. I would have thought that this list includes some of the
most hardened sceptics in the IT industry. Yet lobbyist fabrication,
misrepresentation and sheer wishful thinking about UK gun crime, privacy
issues and healthcare are recycled regularly and uncritically here. 

Now -that- is frightening.
