If so, that wasn't my intent. The whole thing was actually an excuse to use that bottom photo, which has been sitting in my on-line files for about a year now. The effect I was striving for was irony, but I should know by now that irony doesn't always travel well. I'm actually very concerned about the fate of my country, and have been since November of 2016. This post was my way of dealing with that concern.Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635884225797829085.post-7561189130445441252018-07-05T07:40:58.671-07:002018-07-05T07:40:58.671-07:00Adam, I believe the last Super Bowl was the Philad...Adam, I believe the last Super Bowl was the Philadelphia Eagles vs. the New England Patriots.<br /><br />It was a counterrevolution!Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635884225797829085.post-82631900146727566092018-07-05T07:38:50.495-07:002018-07-05T07:38:50.495-07:00Mitchell, revolution or no revolution, I think the...Mitchell, revolution or no revolution, I think the North American continent would have ended up being developed and populated by people other than Native Americans.

And just an aside to Mitchell ...Happy 4th of July!<br /><br />And just an aside to Mitchell -- Canada has always kind of seen the USA as the bad example NOT to emulate and this has had a profound effect on our history. So, for example, we broke away from Britain through patient negotation, not revolution. Again looking south, we got rid of black slavery in Canada asap. We treated our indigenous people horribly too, but didn't follow the US example of wholesale slaughter. We created a federal state and an intercontinental railway to join our provinces together to thwart American ambitions of ruling the continent by Manifest Destiny. Basically, whatever the USA does, we mull it over and then often do the opposite. Sorry, but it's true.Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635884225797829085.post-84313365704233138132018-07-04T03:25:05.193-07:002018-07-04T03:25:05.193-07:00They did so the Phil.
