    More states than not have a city or a town named Jackson.

    You may want to find out where the name of our football team comes from.

    This is where you are right with the "where does it end" statement. If some of the monuments and the stupid flag are sacrificed as a concession then it won't stop there, not a chance in this day and age.

    Hell a guy was awarded 500k the other day because his surgeons were making fun of him while he was knocked out.

    So did Abraham, Isaac, Solomon and David and most of the Hebrew patriarchs, except those that were themselves slaves of Ramses and the rest of the Pharaohs of Egypt. It would include all of the Roman Empire, the Vikings, the Mongol hordes, the Huns, the Goths, the Arabs before and after Mohammed, the Persians, and most of the Pacific Islanders. It would include most of the Indian Nations of North and South America and most of the tribes in Africa.

    Slippery slope, my friend. Impossible to draw the lines. Some times you just have to let shit go.

    Hell, while we're at it, better roll back America, too.

    As I was taught, and it may not be true, in today's world, the name of our country America comes from an Italian explorer, Amerigo Vespucci. Actually, from the Latin spelling of his name, but I don't want to come across as a know it ll!

    I'm sure he offends a whole bunch of people since he was bound to have been just another Euro-devil.

    I'd just like to point out that my clan on the Scottish side was brutally, viciously, and intentionally nearly completely wiped out by another clan whose kin is very wealthy today....in America....they sell a lot of product. I've been thinking of a lawsuit. Reparation. Are you saying I have to go Frozen and let it go?
