    Don't worry, when I buy Albert (Soon to be pronounced Albear, just like my cousin Albert... who has a brother named Clebert [pronounced Clay-bear]), There will be women, wine, and song a plenty.



    It will be the new City of Mahogany!

    Is your food really worth this horrid grammar?

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    What exactly does owning a town mean in the United States (or specifically, Texas).

    One assumes that country, still suffering from a surfeit of revolutionary ideals, would not grant true ownership of the land and peons thereupon, with full feudal rights and privileges?

    In other words, why would one bother?

    Don't ask questions BG, just make some assumptions about how cool owning a town is and cough up the cash.

    Full property rights are not granted indeed. This is because America was founded as a proto-communist state. It did away with full property rights such as existed in Europe. In pinko-liberal America, social rights prevail over a man's natural right of property. Bloody Marxists, I say.

    True. Almost killed the Pilgrims it did.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.
