If America were still under British rule, you would have:
- Free, universal healthcare
- An unelected head of state (the Queen and very soon, me)
- EastEnders on the telly
- Dozens of taxes
- Welfare for those who choose not to work
- You'd share our wonderful national anthem, "God Save The Queen"
- Unification with Canada
- Fish & chip shops instead of McDonalds, Taco Bell, etc
- Rule from London, not Washington
- Starbucks would serve afternoon tea, not coffee
- Pubs on every corner, mass alcoholism
- Football that's actually played with your FEET, teams such as Washington United and Los Angeles Athletic
- State-sponsored television
- Cameras everywhere, watching you, watching me
- Tiny cars, no freeways, just country lanes and buses
- Sheep, plenty of sheep...baaaaaa!
- A justice system that rewards the criminal, punishes the victim
