Thanks! I live about four miles from the first Hudson's Bay Company Outpost in my state (opened in 1806 or thereabouts). Every year they have a little encampment with period costumes and implements. I really like it. It's nothing like that video clip, though. Very peaceful. Once I attended a demonstration by a Civil War group. I was in the audience in the first row. The soldiers lined up in front of me. "Protect against cavalry!" Was the order. Bayoneted muskets were thrust upwards. "Protect against troops!" Bayoneted muskets were thrust downwards. Right in my face. It was a little startling.

A lot of the folks put on full armor and whack on each other. Heh. Good for them :) You should make all politicians honorary members, but require the above activity 24/7.
