Woah.. Where did you pull that crap from, and how does it relate to the
point of discussion?

Probably would be easier without colonist russians, though.

Oh, so your relatives are relativists, also? Probably socialists too,
huh?

Never head of 'on-the-job-training'?
Probably never worked at construction either, huh?

Probably nowhere. But such things are assumed to be the case in a
