WHAT IF America had NOT won the Revolutionary War? What would life be like today in the United States? Would we have a President or a Queen? Would Starbucks be everywhere or Teavana?
Would there be fireworks? Would we be eating bangers or hot dogs and would we call our franks, tube sausages? Well for the fun of it, a British actor, Stephen Merchant delivers a hilarious, sarcastic SLAM on our holiday traditions and informs us how life would be so much better if they had won the war!
Enjoy and Happy 4th of July to all!!!
Bill Ding and his band of clowns are the security patrol for this blog site. He is a favorite toy from the 50*s. By the way sometimes a blog is just an ego-maniacal stream of conscience.

You’d either be part of my home & native land, Canada! Or, a nation/collection of nations that closely resemble it. Either way, you’d have been much better off 🙂 For example:
-Violence would not be the go-to method for solving every single problem.
-Lower crime, fewer guns
– Medicare for all
– a system that somewhat resembles democracy
– more tolerance
– less genocide
– fewer Empire related costs: money, lives, military-industrial-complex expenses
– folks would like you a lot more than they do now.
Oh Sedate Me, I always enjoy your comments, your repartee and sardonic touch! Come back anytime.

Gee, I don’t know how to handle compliments. Most of the few blogs I am welcome on have either disappeared (ie Spinny Liberal & Beagles have been replaced with advertising sites), or their authors have been drawn into the quicksand cesspool of Loserbook & the Twit Zone and only post on their blogs 1-2 times a year…mostly wishing people “Merry Christmas” and other such feelgood, content-free, bullshit.
Back on topic….I often wonder “what if?” things had broken the other way. What if those Nazi jets (including Stealth fighters) got up & running a little faster, or if America/Russia was kept out of WW2? What if WW1 ended differently or never started? (The importance of WW1 is a vastly underrated and was the result of a more complex & bizarre series of events than anyone realizes) What if that one guy fell overboard in the Delaware river and the terrorists didn’t win in the 13 colonies? What if Mary Jane Rottencrotch had given me a handy back in High School?
The course of History is so fucking random. As the success of the 1% has proven, accident of birth and pure dumb luck is the most important factor in success.
