William Henry Harrison's presidential address lasted for three hours in the bitter cold, he contracted pneumonia and died about a month later (if I recall correctly). Served the arrogant bastard right, as he won his presidency by wiping out several Native tribes and was responsible for the death of Tecumseh, the great Shawnee leader who opposed him from way back when Harrison took away Ohio from the tribes and turned the Indiana Territory into a state. Manifest destiny, Traditional Values (somehow those Slovene values JJ summed up also have embedded themselves in other countries somehow; you should be proud! :twisted:)... All slogans from the same book of hollow rhetoric. Anyway : happy Statehood Day! :mrgreen: Politicians always like to hear themselves talk, even if it’s in the words of (several) others.

I find the "enlargement" of the traditional Slovene values part specially amusing.
