      That makes sense. There are different ethnic groups that have interchangeable personalities. A lot of people say Jews and Italians are very similar in some ways. I have a close friend who is a pizza bagel ( half and half). Her mother did convert to Judaism but she still spends Christmas, Easter, etc with her big Italian family. You know who else is a pizza bagel... Fran Drescher aka The Nanny.

    Love the last part. One thing that pisses me off is how history books underplay the fact that the westward expansion issue was a huge reason for the revolutionary war. The British wanted to respect the boundaries at the Appalachian mountains and the Americans wanted to go west and drive the natives off of their lands. Had the British won the natives would have clearly been better off, like in Canada. People get so moralistic about the Confederate flag saying it was for slavery, but I would wager that the average soldier fighting the British thought much more about westward expansion than the average confederate (who was usually to poor to have slaves) about slavery.
