As silly as you've been at least you were half-way polite.
Read up on our Founding sometime. It won't be as bad as you think.
Here's a guy you'll like:
Journal of William Maclay, United States Senator from Pennsylvania, 1789-1791 "They have created an Indian war, that an army may Spring out of it; and the trifling affair of our having eleven captives at Algiers (who ought long ago to have been ransomed) is made the pretext for going to war with them, and fitting out a fleet. With these two engines, and the collateral aid derived from a host of revenue officers, farewell freedom in America. "
Well then hypothetically, the action would have to make it abundantly clear that we were at war. In fact, it should be accompained by a declaration to that effect. I hope that's not getting too esoteric.
