British action


As people from Catholic countries often look ridiculous and laughable because of their obsession with words, so do people from Protestant countries because of their obsession with action.

British prime-minister Gordon Brown just announced that he is giving teachers legal powers to conduct searches of pupils in the classroom if they think students are carrying weapons. I do not dare laughing too much about it because following existing trends in a few years the same measure might be introduced in Portugal as the latest sign in the modernization of the country.
