Sometimes saying bad things about the queen is just used as humor like in this fine example.

Greetings,
after reading the entire thread, I'd like to contribute another point of view. On my first longer visit to the US, I was quite shocked at the level of 'normal' violence reported on a daily basis in local news. Stabbings, shootings, killings of all kind were a regular event, and I wasn't residing in dodgy parts of LA or similar, nope, it was your average american well heeled neighborhood.
OK, this was just a personal observation, your mileage may differ.
If you are interested in the context of "what has happened to this world" since 2008 and weapons productions, there is only one reliable and accepted source I personally know off, and this is not Janes defense weekly - har har - but the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, SIPRI http://www.sipri.org/
If you do your research on this site, you can find charts that are quite enlightning. I speak of the time frame 2008 to date in particular, hence the start of the so called 'financial crisis'. Charts that will show you that at the same time where entire nations were pushed into poverty by the deciples of Austerity, on purpose to rob all the assets of nations, and enrich further the very engineers of this so called crisis, the global arms sales increased proportionally. These are excellent times for arms dealers, and they are making a killing, pun intended.
Purpose of my contribution here is to point your attention to this particular angle, which is also not reported on by our corporate mass media.
There is a connection between the real economy, the parasite financial capitalist industry, and war.
Do your own research, connect the dots.
Peace Folks!
