      In our family we call it "Cutting our Losses Day". Dumping that failed colony was the best thing we did!

                      You can infer it that way, yes. As a first gen American, I am sensitive to others who move here and continue to think their previous country's the greatest in the world. Just don't get why they'd want to live here in that case.

                                If for no other reason, any country that dresses their soldiers in bright red for their battle uniforms is definitely worth keeping an arms-length (and ocean width) away. And the economic policies may have played a part in that Brexit, too.

                                  Interesting angle on it. The US war of independence was the English Civil War part II IMO. At least if you view it in its idealised form. If you view it somewhat more realistically is just a land grab.

                                      No, I just thought the mild banter between joke and rant icon was funny. I should be drinking though, now that you mention it, but alas, I do not drink anymore these days. :)
