Maybe I wouldn't respond to this without a 6-pack within... but... Well...
it's not worth a response, even with a 6-pack... :-/

Founded? Stolen, more like. Yo, dude... head up north -- I'm guessing about
350 miles -- and meet some of the folks that this country was stolen *from*.

And yes, I am of both German and "American Indian/Aboriginal
North-American/folks that were here 40Kyears before the rest of y'all" [[
however you wanna put it...]] so I've learned to walk a mile in someone
else's moccasins...

You mean, citing war on others despite (or because of) the #1 commandment
of most [all?] Christian faiths: "Thou shalt not kill." Despite 2000 years
of trying, Christianity (in all it's flavors) is still not the dominant
faith of this planet... Any chance there's a reason for that?

So much for the witch trials... back to the Crusades!!!

[1] Erm, yea... Born and raised... but at least I know that "North of the
Mackinac[2] Bridge" ain't Canada... Honestly, I'm not saying that you think
that, but I met *many* folks born & raised in the lower half of Michigan
that didn't know better, and tried telling me such... :-/

[2] And no... Eudora doesn't know the correct spelling for Mackinac, either...
