  15. In article <C85PERWE.93Jan22155628@kol20.IDA.LiU.SE>, c85perwe@IDA.LiU.SE (Per Westling) writes:

  17. |> James Tsillias suggested that Denmark would oppose the recognition of
  18. |> The Republic of Macedonia if it would call itself New Copenhagen.  I
  19. |> don't think they would, and for that matter, I would support them even

  21. |> world now incorporated in the USA).
  22.  
  23. Yet another simplistic approach. New Jersey, for example was founded by
  24. people to fleed from Jersey and named their new settlement to honor their
  25. home-land.
  26.  
  27. Tsillias's argument was not a good one. I don't know much of Denish history
  28. nor Scadinavian --- despite the fact that I was involved for 2.5 yrs with
  29. an excellent lady from Sweden --- but how would you feel is Norway for example
  30. changed the name to something taken deeply inside from Swedish history,
  31. thus claiming that Sweden is Norway after all?
