There was a thread somewhere near Tilted Entertainment that was going the same way as well.
The thing is, up until 3 or 4 hundred years ago, those states belonged to either France, Spain, or Mexico, so the whole "be American and speak American, or get up and move on" shtick is really a contradiction, as they aren't the real Americans who were there for generations before.

No, we're the Americans who intelligently killed everything that was a threat to us. That is how things are accomplished.
Intelligent killing --- Group of people killing things that need to die.
Large cats, bears, etc
Aggressive tribesmen, especially the sort that scalp the women.
Unintelligent killing -- Group of people that are their own enemies, therefore they just kill eachother and anything else, pretty much.
We're the people who teamed up to tame the world around us.
We program into the world. We don't program in the world.
