Stan, I was being facetiuos about other nations. The good ol USA has its problems, but I wouldn't give a dime for Germany, my ancestral country, or the other soon to be Islamic realms over there.

Old Vlad Tepesh certainly had a use for his citizenry. He mounted them on poles and turned back a Turk invasion, it is said. By the way, I know a Rumanian gal who regards Vlad the Impaler as a great patriot. We only got George Washington and a few other losers.

But I think you're right, just accept it and move on.

By the way, did you ever see that pretty good Audie Murphy movie that had Chivington in it--Guns of Ft. Petticoat, about the Southern women who fought the injuns? It was filmed at Old Tucson, and what an entertaining film it was. Think it was around 1955 or so.

It was supposedly during the Civil War, but I noticed they had a few 1873 Winchesters and Colt SA Armys. Oh, well.
