I'm sure you and RBG will make good peons/serfs. I started to say slaves but I don't think that is actually right because the concept of private property is going out the door.

"Airstrip One" (reflecting the role of England during WWII as an American launching point). Who would have guessed that England would do this to themselves without any outside help.
