No, I simply rebutted your gibberish pronouncements about something it's
clear you know very little about, for all your attempts to sound wise.

What can I say? I pay attention to the world outside my own borders. I
know a lot of Americans prefer not to look beyond theirs. I'm guessing
you're one of them.

Yes, I remember the old story about the dinner party. You've probably
heard it; it's quite old. An American, rather full of himself, asks a
British guest (the attributions are various) which British military
victory was the greatest:
"I would have to say the American War of Independence," responds the
guest.
"What?" asks the American, appalled. "You must know that the British
lost the War of Independence?"
"Nonsense," replies the Brit. "British colonists fighting a German king
who fielded German mercenaries? What else could it be but a British
victory?"
Yeah, we all know that story. But funny though it still is, to get back
the serious point here: do some catching up, for crying out loud. *I*
didn't lose the Revolution - I was born in the 20th Century. You've
always been America to me, and it's hardly something I'm going to be
bitter about. I have the greatest respect for most of you. *Most* of
you.

The Anglican Church is nothing to do with me.

Plenty of "Gaelics" still here, though. And plenty of "non-Gaelics"
fought in the War of Independence. Again, you're playing games with
history.
Try reading a real book once in a while. You know - with pages and
things. You might actually learn something, gods forbid...

What, the rich on top with all the power; the poor at the bottom with
nothing? There're lots of different names for that. "Corporate
America" would be another. As it is, our local duke's always round here
telling us what to do and demanding taxes from us... Gawd bless Robin
Hood, I say.
We've moved on. It's probably time you did, too. In any case, I've
wasted all the time on your drivel that I'm prepared to spare. You may
argue with my killfile from here on.
