Tublecane- the Founding Fathers “in their wisdom” made the rules. I had them posted in my clubhouse in Spanky-form, which went something like this (I don’t have copy, the cereal box I wrote them on got musty):
It not what the Limey skunks or any other deranged legislative body so claims, its that jerk-o-la subjects to its law don’t fully renounce their citizenship and depart...and its just THE FATES that they can’t drop a baby on Uncle Sam’s head. Its the fates the lineage has to wait a generation.
It’s a very small penalty in the scheme of things, really. Its the rules: you come from voracious place attempting this insidious doctrine, we make you wait a generation before you and yours have the very highest right to run our country. Its really very simple. Dare say Spanky and Our Gang would have understood.
“and its just THE FATES that they can’t drop a baby on Uncle Sam’s head. Its the fates the lineage has to wait a generation.”
Oh, so it’s the Fates that decide. I forgot for a second that this was Ancient Greece and not some place where you write your rules down.
“Its the rules: you come from voracious place attempting this insidious doctrine, we make you wait a generation before you and yours have the very highest right to run our country.”
If the Fates say so. Could somebody ask Zeus to tell them to write it down somewhere, just in case they’re busy next election?
