If we would reach a degree of civilization higher and grander than any yet attained, we should welcome to our ample continent all the nations, kindreds, tongues and peoples, and as fast as they learn our language and comprehend the duties of citizenship, we should incorporate them into the American body politic. The outspread wings of the American eagle are broad enough to shelter all who are likely to come.

But I recorded it, mostly to make sure there was no police abuse out in the open. (I can't do anything about what happens behind closed doors.)
You two were *perfect*.
And I love your genderflipped Alastor!

Some day, it will happen. There will be a huge celebration, and maybe (depending on the whimsl of JD) things will be closer to normal.

Will there be a recording?
According to www.axios.com/2026/02/10/n... , it's all of New York State (along with California and Illinois).
But, bluntly, that states are going back to doing international diplomacy (like they did in 2020) doesn't bode well for the "united"? states.

I find it amazing that in 1941, they wrote:
"One great favorite is Borden's Liederkranz, the creamy, golden-crusted dessert cheese that's as truly American-born as corn on the cob."
This was OBVIOUSLY written before December 7th, 1941.
