And then the people here tortured people who had religious differences with them. Give me a break. How is that progress? Although many of the people who came here came for economic opportunities. So you really ought to hate them. Filthy capitalists. And let's not forget, those damn limeys freed their slaves long before we did... Revolution. A way to change the musical chairs of the wealthy- but the chairs remain tenanted with big rich bottoms. Ergo- revolution is usually stupid and a fool's errand, except for those who hope to profit from it.
