Right On!  Imagin the nerve of these people!  When are they going to realize
they are a colony and start acting like it?  Didn't you tell them you were
an American citizen?  That seems to put these third world types in their place!
What can we expect from a bunch of backwater types that sit around drinking
beer all day while they wait for their trap lines to be filled?  I mean, they
are all like the MacKennzie brothers, aren't they?  Aren't they?  They aren't?
