This is a fun site. I'm going to look at it more thoroughly later. The idea of the Norman/Anglosaxon influence on the US is also interesting. First, there is the subject of language. English Is such an amalgam. Then thinking of how much the drafters of the constitutuion, in their rebellion against England (being all English I assume) were influenced by the ideals of French liberty. And Greek democracy.
I will think about this in my slow cook way.
I dig a pony.
