I guess the term "American Union" would simply be beyond your ability to comprehend? You seem to put great stock in the trivia of which words are used to describe something, and OMG it's a great leap from the "United Kingdom" to the "United States." Obviously they are completely different things, and whatever the one thing is, the other must not be.
You talk about wasting people's time, just how much time have you wasted objecting to the usage of the term "British Union" because you do not like how it sounds, how it makes you uneasy in regards to what the "Union" did in the Civil War?
You remind me of that old lawyer's saw, "If the facts are on your side, pound the facts. If Law is on your side, pound the law. If neither the Facts nor the Law is on your side, pound the table."
That is what you are doing. You are pounding the table because you don't like the comparison between the British Union and the American Union in regards to subjugating a free people.
You assert it is "a square argument into a round hole" but you desperately wish this were so. What is entirely too uncomfortable for you is the fact that it is the same sort of hole as it was in 1776, and whether it be square or round, the argument will fit as well as it did before.
Only the cheerleaders have changed. The salient facts remain the same.
Sorry guy, you guessed wrong. To the best of my understanding, "American Union" is a luggage company.
