They gave mine an incentive to keep on moving north, c1848. I've often
wondered why the British ship they arrived on came to New Orleans instead
of New York. Maybe the brits got lost.

Oh, part British eh...

'fraid so...

I don't doubt that for a minute. There are a lot of people like him in the
same category.

I forget the exact number, something like 22,000 or so that were destroyed
by the occupants. Those who treated them like they were their own should
be allowed to keep them.

 RW>> Yeah, she's a cutie, but her brain is screwed up.

Other than the media coverage that she got in 2005, she's been very quiet
since.

 RN> The voters there aren't voting with their brains.

I figure it something on the order of the 12 jurors who let OJ Simpson
walk. He's a brother, so he can't be as bad as the honkies say he is.
