- That battle was 233 years ago - the "We" and the "They" no longer exist.
- In any event, it was the British vs French, not CHQ vs Quebec.
- Besides, can't I admire a good military victory without "kicking" somebody?
- Some of my ancestors were shmucked along with Bonnie Prince Charlie. It
- was, however, a good victory by the English. I don't feel "kicked" if
- someone mentions the defeat and I most certainly don't feel "down".
-
- Can't we all, just for once, look to the future and forget the past?
