Germany Lines: 20 Xref: watmath net.politics:12093 net.nlang:3781 Perhaps the reason the states havn't a unifying name is that it's only in the last 100 os so years that the unification has been so extensive. Before the turn of the century the states were united; now it seems they are dominated. Maybe we should call ourselves the Dominated States of America- DSA (Oh - Honeywell would like that). The world seem to going in the direction or centralization, unification, and standardization. Maybe, since we are discussing the history of the name of our nation, we should discuss what we want it to be, and why. But I doubt it would help, the trend will likely continue. -- -------------------------------------------- Pete Delaney - Rocky Mnt.
