You, sir, I believe, are from a sub-nation of former religious fanatics.  I am partly that,
but mostly from the (large!) sub-nation of former German-dialect-speaking peasants for whom
the choice was starvation, with an admixture of the sub-nation of former draft-dodgers for
whom the choice was death in some interminable intra-tribal war promoted by German-dialect-
speaking aristocrats and largely suffered and fought by German-dialect-speaking peasants.  And
so forth and so on.

Are you sure you haven't confused the U-S-of-God-fearin'-A with Australia?
