I was wondering if anyone but me took umbrage with Harriott's last sentence.
Lyle has responding well but I would have responded to the question

happened a long time ago and is now history. I will be eternally grateful
to my ancestors for the sacrifices they made so I would not be born in a
grass hut, or a teepee, or in England.
