"I Ain't Sayin' Im No Better......"

The full quote, from the music of the play "Oklahoma!" is: "I ain't sayin' I'm no better than anybody else, but I'll be damned if I ain't just as good!"

I don't claim to be superior to anybody because of my European ancestry. Neither do I feel guilty or responsible for atrocities committed by my European ancestors long before I was born. All I'm saying is that we are in the process of losing our country as well as Europe itself to people who are not like us and don't like us. Once they have taken over, I see no reason to believe that they will be any nicer to us than our ancestors were to their ancestors. Those who are burdened with liberal guilt might derive grim satisfaction from the prospect of paying the price for the sins of their ancestors, but I don't. I didn't do it, and I ain't paying for it!

Uncle Ken is right when he says that Beaglesonia is in no danger of being over run anytime soon. Thank God for high prices, low wages, and long winters! There does seem to be a lot of those people on television, but I don't watch a lot of TV anyway. What they have really taken over is the telephones. Not only the spammers and the scammers, but most of the people who handle the phones for legitimate businesses speak with some kind of accent, I think it's Indian, (Indian Indian not American Indian). I grew up around accents, but they were regular accents like Czech and Polish. As a matter if fact, it wasn't until I moved to Cheboygan that I met somebody's grandparent who didn't speak with an accent. I remarked to the lady in question that her grandmother spoke English very well. "Why wouldn't she?" the lady replied. "How long has your family been in this country?" said I. "Since forever." said she. "Oh, they must be Indians then." said I. "Certainly not!" said she. This was on a first date and, for some reason, there never was second date.

Speaking of Indians, I don't know about the Iroquois, but their historic enemies the Anishnabe are doing verily well with their casinos. They own half the land in neighboring Emmet County, even though they account for less that five percent of the population. I used to worry about them until I found out how few of them there were. Uncle Ken expressed surprise that I wasn't upset about so few people owning all that land, but I thought it was a good thing because it might prevent other people from moving up here. Like I said before, I've got nothing against minorities, I just don't want to become one.
