Dutchie is so Worldly - I love it! The last time I heard of Herb Alpert was in the late 90s. I'm not sure where he's been lately.
Do you know about the Mennonites? This is another interesting fact. They were Dutch descendants that moved to Canada to escape religious persecution. Then later on there was friction between them and the Canadian Government. So Mexico struck a deal with them in the 1920s because they were short on Farmers. They told the Mennonites they could live on land previously owned by William Randolp Hearst (who was booted out after the 1921 Mexican Revolution) and farm there and live the way they live their lives.
Anyway - they still live there in the State of Chihuahua separate from the general population. They live the same type of life that the Amish do in America - very simple. The Mennonites still speak Dutch and have kept their culture. They make some damn good cheese too! Pretty cool
umm, I think the Dutch they speak is an English bastardization of Deustch or...
... more fvcking Germs!
Actually, other than the pox of being ethnic German, they are pretty decent people.
Just like me, I can't help it if I'm part Pollok, or German for that matter. Kind of like Bobby Fischer who hated Jews, was a Jew himself. Myself, I like the Jews, especially when they kick rag-head asses.
Herb Alpert is doing jazz these days, or at lest he was a few years ago.

Died last year, at the age of 64, in Iceland. 64 squares on a chessboard...fitting.
Actually, I don't hate everyone, but I think people are just animals with just the very thinnest veneer of "civilization".
