I look forward to possible replies*. I enjoy skimming at the Guardian in the UK and, good heavens, most of those people, journalists and readers alike, would gasp in horror at the fact that the number of HSC "is not even known"! much less nearly unregulated. The horror would be rather less amongst the folks who piously read the NYT and WaPo because so many are already familiar with the unenlightened, 'deplorable' parts of the US.

*I used to send emails to my junior US Senator, whose name I can never remember, Mr Merkley (the not-clever one of the two) because the response would always be 'thank you for your comments' (I believe that there has not been any praiseworthy policy decision on his part in 15 years) until someone gave the poor clerk permission to stop replying at all.
