Sure hope this isn't 'too political':

In reply to Duke :

i kinda want to know just so i can say "goddamn that's berkeleying stupid, i can't believe people burn calories and use brain space to care" but i can't actually find the interest it would take to read any one of the hundreds of links i'm exposed to every day.

In reply to Duke :

There's a difference between caring and entertainment.

They amuse me. Kinda like clowns.

Those kind of things kinda bug me, because it's a bit like feeling a sense of accomplishment when the sportsball team that operates out of the city you live in wins a game.  You had nothing to do with it.

1776?  I wasn't born for a bit over 200 years.  I don't even have any family who had a dog in the fight, as far as I am aware - all of my ancestors emigrated to the US in the 1880s-1900s from the opposite end of Europe.  MAYBE I had a great-great-(?)-great-grandcousin-thrice-removed who was a German mercenary hired by what would become the US.   I got no dog in anything that happened in this continent in 1776, 1789, or hell even 1861-1865.  My Grandfather rode a destroyer in the Pacific during the 1940s nastiness and some of his brothers are buried in Europe, but I got three Japanese cars and two German ones because that has nothing to do with me.  Hell, one of the German cars was made in Pennsylvania.

Sorry this bugged me. The Hessians were mercenaries for the British not the Americans.

It was somebody, okay?  It was a long, long time ago, in a galaxy like 800 miles away or something.  The part of the continent where I was born and live now was colonial France at that time anyway.  Pretty sure, at least.  (I can legally become a French citizen!)   Nobody's cared about the French monarchy since the 1700s but for entirely other reasons.  Anyway, I qut smoking and putting adjectives after the nouns frightens me, so the point is moot I guess.

Somehow I recalled that the US hired German officers to train their soldiers to do the soldiery things they needed to do, and this was part of how the US almost did have an official language.  German.

And Casimir Pulaski was a badass Pole who trained the revolutionary cavalry, and who's tactics are still relevant and used to this very day. What the hell are we arguing about?
