    Err, When I read her account I did not have the impression that
    she seemed to be overly pushy. Or do you think it's not fitting
    for a woman to be assertive about the way she's treated by the
    officials? Have you ever been at the recieving end of unfriendly
    American immigration official[1]? I have, if not nearly to that
    extent this woman experienced, and it left me slightly more than
    annoyed.


    [1] This does not mean there can't be other unfriendly immigration
    officials, but somehow the American ones seem to have a particular
    air about themselves.

  4. Hmm.. I think you will find that for a great deal of that we have
    been ruled by descendants of Frenchified Vikings.. Or Germans.

    How many of us *are* the descendants of Frenchified Vikings.. Or
    Germans? Come to that, the Angles and the Saxons were Johnny Come
    Latelies.

    The Normans surplanted the ruling classes, but weren't major colonists.
    Most of us English will be descendents of Saxons - South and Midlands - or
    Norse of one sort or another.

    why not go the whole hog, and just all claim to be descended from
    Mitochondrial Eve...
