Jean and Jerry, Those were very informative comments on the Tories. I wonder what would have happened to England and Europe in 1914 and 1939 if the Tories and the English had won the American Revolution No way to say, but my family never had any love for the English, and the sentiment was rekindled during WW2 when my father was on a convoy which was deserted by British escort vessels because they couldn't afford to lose the escort vessels we(the USA) had given them. But, you know the Irish hold hard feelings. I don't buy Japanese cars because they may bomb Pearl Harbor again and we won't be able to get parts. John O'Brien
