Well, as we can see, the American experiment didn’t work. As Oscar Wilde memorably said, ‘America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilisation in between.’ Most of its citizens can barely find their own country on a map and the country itself is run by a bunch of imbeciles. It is clearly time for Europe to take back the territory and start again. First to return all ancestral land to the indigenous people, of course, then restore New France (Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, et al) to French administration. Quebec would probably be prepared to take on the task of building civilisation and introducing European culture there. The 13 original English colonies – from New Hampshire down to Georgia – should return to the crown, and in this English-speaking Canada would probably be prepared to take on the task of introducing European values and culture. The Spanish colonised Florida, California, Texas, New Mexico. Arizona and parts of other states. It’s unlikely that Spain would want the enormous task of administering such a large area so no doubt Mexico could be brought in to do so for them as well as introducing edible food. An exception might be made for the Duke of Westminster whom I understand would quite like Florida back, but that could be negotiated. As for the mid-west; perhaps build a wall around it, Americans are seem to like walls, though it would probably be a good idea to remove the better things from the Chicago Art Institute, the MCA, the Cleveland Art Museum and a few others to New York first for safe keeping. It is a big task, and there might be some objections, but for the health and safety of the planet it has to be done.
