- And while we're at it, I believe there is a Luxembourg province in
- Belgium (that is, a case of one country stealing an entire country's
- name, and not just a region). Shouldn't NATO or the UN send in
- peacekeepers to make sure that Luxembourg, the country, is protected
- from the expansionist Belgians?
-
- But I guess that we Americans should get our own act together first;
- I mean, we should first resolve the our internal implied land claims;
- such as-
-
- Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania
- Florida, New York
- Virginia City, Nevada
- Nevada County, California
- West New York, New Jersey
- Delaware County, Pennsylvania
- Delaware County, New York
-
- and then, isn't it really sinister that Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York
- all have an Erie County? I hope the New York National Guard is on the
- alert this weekend in Buffalo and Orchard Park this weekend, since everyone
- else will be so absorbed in the Super Bowl, it would be no problem for
- Erie County, PA (or Ohio) to reclaim some of "their" territory.
