Excellent! Historical, political satire - I love it! And such economy of
words. Do you guys get togther and practice this stuff? Linday sets it up,
and Tony slams it down. Its like a ballet, but with a 25lb mallet in the
other hand. I do love it so!

I think is a fine idea. So far, we have the south west Pacific, the
Britain, and the Carribean. The French and Spanish would be good, together
with perhaps the Dutch. Who else was hip and happening in the late 1700's
to mid 1800's? No doubt the Train heads should be setting up America and
India, but who else had a decent navy/maritime contribution around then?
