	Can you be a bit more specific?  We've done several things to the 
British.  We kicked their miserable imperialist asses off the 
continent... TWICE... then proceeded to save their miserable imperialist 
asses... TWICE.  We've done many things to them. :)

	Some economists need to be spanked.  With a crow bar.  Capitalism isn't 
the problem.  Miserable dreg governments and liberal dogooder nitwits 
who are either meddlers, power-crazed, or whose powder-puff 
sensibilities can't withstand the thought of anyone being "left behind" 
even when those left are too lazy to lift a finger to wipe their own 
butts, much less do anything more ambitious.  Let the vermin get good 
and hungry and then we will see how long they remain lazy.  I may be 
sorry for those who genuinely cannot help themselves, and I may (and 
have) choose to render some aid, but I don't care for the idea of being 
forced to give away my hard work under the threat of prison or 
externally imposed destitution.  That is the very definition of slavery.
