The Zulus, the Afghans in the 18th century, the Whirling Dervishes,
the people who made the Black Hole of Calcutta (the hole, not the
movie) were all freedom fighters fighting a foreign occupier. * So why
do we always cheer the Brits in the movies?

Because they're the good guys. :-)

OTOH they did get rid of sutee (widow burning) and thugee (ritual
killing of travelers) and the slave trade. *They also brought a great
rail system and modern medicine to most of their former colonies.

How many flush toilets (Uncle Al writes of this from time to

Yes, the Irish still keep getting it wrong.

Mr. Wong:
Velly flunny economy! How much you want for it?
JohnM:
Turn out your pockets.

Now, all together!

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you.
Away, you rolling river!
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Away, I'm bound away,
'Cross the wide Missouri.

The white man loved an Indian maiden,
Away, you rolling river!
With notions his canoe was laden,
Away, I'm bound away,
'Cross the wide Missouri.

Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter,
Away, you rolling river!
For her I've crossed the stormy water,
Away, I'm bound away,
'Cross the wide Missouri.

Farewell, my dear, I'm bound to leave you.
Away, you rolling river!
Oh, Shenadoah, I'll not deceive you,
Away, I'm bound away!
'Cross the wide Missouri.
