Touché.

In my defense, I did not choose to be an American; the Danish sold my 
island from under me 46 years before I was born.

Although, when I took an online test to see where I should move in the 
extremely unlikely event that Donald Trump should become president, they 
said Germany would be the best match for me.  Personally, I say make 
Trump's immigration policy retroactive 2 generations and send /him/ back 
to Germany.
