Ok, this will take a few editings to pull off because of this log off problem I am having, but here we go.
[QUOTE=slohairt;469146]
Much the same occurs here in Canada as well. As far as I'm concerned, once one has Canadian citizenship, they are considered a Canadian. No matter where they come from. Such is the nature of our multi-cultural New World nations. Unless you are aboriginal/first nations/indian, you are either an immigrant or descended from immigrants.
Understood. Although, all people of the "new world" are of immigrants: First Nation walked the rest hopped on boats, although that view is changing also. Oh, who knows anymore.

Ok, I believe that this whole world, all the people, are right on the edge of a cultural evolution. Kind of a picking up of the reversing swing that started perhaps with the loss of the library of Alexandria and all kinds of aughful things like that on into the loss of South American pre-conquest history stuf... We don't even know what we don't know. Anyway. A possibility to move from type 0 civilization to type one as Mitieu coku says or how ever you spell his name. Like maybe even um taking our evolution into our own hands in a scientific way, don't know. We might not care about genetics too much in the future for any number of reasons. (A nice gental blending of all until we don't know who and where we came from.)]

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
