Tax Deal Finalized

[oldtime]

Quote from Humpy:

Never was any good at paying taxes I suppose.
I think we can call the 1812 war a draw. You may not know it but the USA declared the war and invaded Canada. Britain sent over a fleet which burnt only the public buildings in Washington not civilian ones. and sailed away again.
I was amused to see that if the US is serious about defending Taiwan against China it would have to borrow another mountain of money. And yes you may have guessed from who ?
So don't forget who your new paymasters are. Your politicians blew it. From number 1 to a begging bowl. Hopeless really.

yes, it's always a bad idea to invade Canada, that hasn't changed

What also hasn't changed is good and evil.

In all our stories, the Americans are good and the English are evil.

And that goes for the whole world.

Show me the story where the British are good and the Kenyans are evil.

You are good at forming Empires

we are good at letting you know we don't like it

who do you think is going to be the hero in the book?

As a matter of fact, other than James Bond, I can't think of a single hero in any conflict where the good guy represented the English.

It's a simple fact. Everything that is British is evil. And everyone who rebels against it is good. And that over here is how we measure ourselves. If we become too much like you, we know we are becoming too evil.
