200 years of Independence is a laugh... I guess you've been alive for all two hundred of those years to actually know how rediculous that is. So, if we're all basically Europeans, doesn't that mean that we have behind us, not only the 200 years of independent culture which we have developed but the cumilative history of all of Europe up to 1776 and the present? Our culture incorporates parts of every culture from around the world, your culture stagnates and drowns in it's own overabundance of perfume and pompensity. You sit and laugh and call us stupid while all the while growing more and more like us. Your EU is nothing more than an attempt to form a confederation with the ability to have the power and resources that the US has from our union. The British Commonwealth is one of the greatest examples of the offspring leading the dottering old parental figures into the next century. We may not be the first people to discover something and we may not be the first people to do something, but we are the first people to pull it all together. Sit back and laugh and while your laughing, thinking you are safe in warm, caught up in your traditions and history, make sure you don't take your eyes off of your own youth as they look towards our Nation with envy and regard and build an America underneath your own feet.
