we reckon we know all about that. We wonder, sometimes, at the apparant lack of any handle on that concept and reality over there in the "New World", though. However, from much reading, eg. the sheriff's(1) monologue in Cormac McCarthy's "No Country for Old Men", Howard Zinn's "People's History&quot 2), Oliver Stone's latest doc.(3). and a long etcetera... one begins to reach the conclusion that... you guys are beginning to learn... in spite of yourselves.


(1): " Although many attribute an Arabic origin, an Anglo-Saxon etymology is the correct one.

SHERIFF - Old English. "A sheriff is etymologically a 'shire-reeve,' that is a 'county official.' The term was compounded in the old English period from 'scir,' ancestor of modern English 'shire,' and 'gerefa,' 'local official, a word based on 'rof' 'assembly' which survives as the historical term 'reeve.' It was used for the 'monarch's representative in a county.'" From the "Dictionary of Word Origins: the Histories of More Than 8,000 English-Language Words" by John Ayto (Arcade Publishing, New York, 1990). - http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_origin_of_the_word_sheriff "

Besos. Kiss kiss.


Edit: And, Point of Order: ... If you follow the above link and/or view the above video, if you're in the USA and maybe plenty of other places, you're going to see a 27 minute RT interview with Oliver Stone + compadres. Which is definitely worth paying attention to. Here in Spain, EU, however, the link provides us with access to the entire documentary series... Una verdadera gozada, compañer@s.
