CB, them Redskins used to run around bare-bum, chasing bison. < we Americans felt like we were the civilized ones, while it was the Brits who were barbarians? > Now they swoop through cyberspace and have heard of habeas corpus. Guess where that came from. Al Gorhythm invented cyberspace [with help from some mathematicians like that famous Englishman Fourier somebody or other, Turing and Einstein]. But the along with the science foundations and maths and all that jazz came the British freedom from parliament down on the banks of the Thames. The Redskins hijacked some of the Pommy DNA and used it to carry their DNA around and went to live in Washington, learned to read big words and stuff. They far prefer it to living in wigwams out in the snow on the plains, hoping for buffalo and no Sioux!! Now they cruise the freeways in their SUV and get the thrill of reading rants from South Pacific refugees via pixels swooping around the world on cdma2000 [well, they'll do that last bit pretty soon]. Jefferson and the rest were just escapees from HQ. Like your George II, the Pommy George II, III, IV etc were just figureheads, not specially notable for intellectual rigour - the real stuff is done by Maggie Thatcher, Condoleezza and co. Mqurice
