i THINK what Rumil meant, but i can't be sure, was that the British Empire was create because people wanted to escape (ie overseas) from the stale, 'I have a better husband than you' style one-upmanship that was going on in England at the time. Forgive m if i'm wrong, Rumil.
I think protestors shoot themselves i nthe foot; it just makes more people read the book/see the film than orignally would have done. Scandal sells; remember LOTR became well known in the States first because of the pirate copies distributed by Ace and the ensuing debacle.
