What a pile of shit. Patriotic, illogical, jingoistic shit.
There is an economist, his name eludes me at present, that predicts medals based on two simple criteria, population size and wealth. He is almost perfectly accurate every time he's done it. That's it. Size, money, nothing else counts. You can narrow it down, it's a cold hard, numerically proven fact, waffling crap about 'freedom' and 'individual spirit' is exactly that. If the US was a quasi-police state run by a bunch of religious wackos the results would be.....If the US was a totalitarian regime the results would be exactly the same.

He also doesn't have a fucking clue about the Australian welfare system and massive sport emphasis thoughout the education system and in the wider community. The best example of this is that Australia, has around 3000 Olympic sized pools, in a country with 5 major cities, yet the UK has around 50.
