You've been reading too many socialist newspapers.
Life is boring if you make it so, it has nothing to do with anyone
else.



Oh boy. Socialist newspapers are somehow connected with linguistic and
culinary variety? Are you talking about a publication like Conde Nast
Traveller?

No.
I am talking about the fact that you mentioned that without regional
cuisine
and music this country would be boring.
That's not true.
But it is constantly put forth by the common rags that *diversity* is a
requirement, that *we* are all better for it.
Bull****.

Where did you ancestors come here from?

All of my family, from the 1800's forward, have been born and raised in the
US.
How is this relevent to anything?

Some of us came over on the first boat and others a few years later. One
side of the family had a problem in Salem, Mass. a few years ago and they
moved north.

Practicing that witchcraft, were they?

Historical interruption to Kerry debate:

Everybody put to death in Topsfield and Essex County was innocent. Without
exception. Many went to their deaths defiantly proclaiming their devout
Christian faith. Others were terrorized into false confessions.

(There are some serious differences between observing old rituals, practicing
natural healing, revering natural order, and being in league with Satan).

My ggggg....grandfather, Zaccheus, was one of the original stakeholders of
Topsfield. Mary Estey, Rebecca Nurse, and Sarah Cloyce (the Towne sisters) are
all great aunts.

If you wanted to see the devil at work in 1692, you didn't have to look any
farther than Inquisitor Hawthorne and his gang of religious zealot thugs.
Maleus Malificarum indeed. What a crock. Hell of a tragic way to settle some
festering community disputes as well as squabbles over church doctrine and real
estate boundaries.

Well, your comment about diversity probably doesn't come from ideas or
feelings which exist in a vacuum, right? They're probably a reaction to
something. Which "something"?
