But you're spread out in the world, a Canada there, Australia way down there... But we're crammed in a third of a peninsula

Like little children arguing over a pillow and dreaming how good it was when the bones on the bed were still alive

We don't even own bones to argue over these days

The good news is she can afford to pay about 80% of it off (sort of)

Thanks for that...as a newly admitted member to the Florida Bar, I really appreciate comments like those.

Maybe I should not bother to visit these forums. After all, no one "gives a rats crap what [I] think."

That being said, this is a pretty inane thing to argue about...illegal or not, the U.S. isn't going back to British possession, so who cares?

That was pretty much the point of it.

A rebellion is always legal in the first person, such as "our rebellion." It is only in the third person - "their rebellion" - that it becomes illegal.

From the movie 1776.
