If you don't appreciate jazz, then there's nothing that I can say! :thumbsup:

The Beatles got their music from American sources - and most other British rock acts including the Rolling Stones, Elton John, Rod Stewart etc. did the same. I like a lot of it, and listen to it, but they didn't "invent" it, either.

The government of the U.S. is what we were talking about, and YES I brought up the accomplisments of Jefferson and Franklin.

Franklin was the influence behind many an inventor - they all had nothing but praise for him. I guess that you know better. :dance:

Even old King George, after we won the War of Independecne, praised George Washington in a manner that is surprising. Again, I guess that YOU kinow better. :dance:
