@ACL9000 @Paleface To piggyback on your comment, a "Midwesterner" can drive from Kansas, to western New York, down to Nashville and back again and get the definite impression of a contiguous nation that still exists. However this trip omits the fact from the D.C. area north and the Rockies west is 80% weirdos and kooks with whom there can be no peace. Yeah the white people in those areas speak English but everything that comes out of their mouths is foreign.
