for the record i like downton abbey, and one of the reasons is the rifles and shotguns are correct and are shown quite a bit. hunting is shown positively. the writers could easily do better, of course, but as public tv went, it was very fair to guns. quite different from the anti hunting 'mrs brown', about queen victoria and her highland scot lover. the writers had an opportunity to do guns correctly, and instead made an anti gun, anti hunting statement. total bummer; that movie could have been perfect

I'd be fascinated if you could tell me more about this "tyranny". In 1215 we had the Magna Carta which was a complete sea -change of citizens rights. In 1620,,30 members of the English Seperatist Church along with a number of traders popped over the Atlantic to practice their religion away from the evil influence of the Church of England. By 1780 America was independent. Was all the tyranny occurring during those 150 years or was it something else entirely. You say they went to America to "escape tyranny" so is it possible that they were being tyrannised in England,Wales, Scotland, Holland, Ireland and France by English Royalty. Its so important to be clear about these things don't you think.
As our language becomes impoverished,,our thinking shrinks to fit.

T-y-r-a-n-n-y, spelled out like this ......... taxation without representation. Then going to war to keep that policy in place and enforce it.

May God bless America and those who defend her.

It's not that simple, Stan. Consider US debacle of Vietnam. Or the Bush Doctrine of the right to arbitrarily/preemptively invade any country and change its institutions if the US considered them inimical to its national interests. Iraq comes to mind. Standard procedure for empires: US propping up remnant of French colonial empire with its domino theory and then WMDs in Iraq. Don't recall any mention of taxation.

Fast forward to 1993 and kneel before your overlords in Brussels. BoJo is trying to pull a Magna Carta and The Euros are telling him to piss off. ___________________________ There’s no England now. https://youtu.be/vkt7YHG9Fys
