26. You know

I also think I'm a little insulted by the word "plunder". England didn't do a lot of "plundering". They got most of the stuff through trade and gifts to the monarch from heads of state that were a hell of a lot worse then they.

England was one of the first countries to outlaw slavery, England was one of the freest countries when everyone else thought a Despot was the way to go. AND I STILL THINK THEY HAVE A BETTER FORM OF GOVERNMENT THEN WE DO.

I've got more choices in breakfast cereal then political parties in this country.
