Which brings to mind the exchange between the Sherrif of Nottingham
and Maid Marions handmaiden Latrine.

HM...oh yes, Father changed the original family name
Sherriff...He actually changed the name to Latrine??????
HM...yes, and he was quite proud of the change

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
