    Because what has the U.S. ever done since declaring independence? Truly nothing but a downward slope since the heady colonial days.

    This is like Hugh Grant, when the anniversary of the Elizabeth Hurley divorce rolls around, trying to pretend he’s drinking cabinets of scotch because he’s “celebrating no longer being responsible for that bitch, Liz” and totally not because he’s a broken, barely-recognizable husk of his former glorious self. And we should know.

      This is the true internet way. (I stole it from someone else too and am cheerfully passing it off as mine)

    You can never totally divest from the fire you started friends. Even if it burns beyond your control.

      You should be telling that to the Dutch, French and Spanish. All forgotten when it comes to the origins of the USA.
