This isn't meant as a criticism Nathan, but why "Anglo-Saxon"? A  
curious term that relates to southern British culture immediately  
prior to the Norman invasion almost a thousand years ago. It's used  
increasingly by French pundits, I notice, when referring in a  
negative manner to British, or more likely American, influence and  
culture. And yet American culture has, not to put too fine a point on  
it, zip to do with the "Anglo-Saxons".

Cheers, P.
