1,776 feet. Because of 1776 when the declaration of independence was signed.
And Vod, you're right. In the last few years America seems to be hated simply because of Bush. Yeh, the stereotypes were around long before him but really, he has pretty much stuck a sign to his back saying hate me. Best thing for the representative of the US to do. And it's rubbed off on England. There was a competition called the Eurovision song contest. England, Germany, Spain and France paid the most into it. But the trouble is, it is
all politics. Greece votes for cyprus. Every ex soviet country vote for russia and others.
England last year came dead last with only one vote and that was from Ireland. Shows how well liked we are. If our governments would just stop to think about the effects of their intervention in other countries maybe we wouldn't be hated!
