A week doesn't go by in the Cape Cod Times that the Eaters aren't reminded by Rupert Murdoch's henchmen of their place in the Cape Cod social structure, unless they're black or one millionth part Wampanoag, that is in which case they're special.

Uusally it's a weekly article on what Pilgrim some businessman is descended from, as if the world cares about people that compiled a document that made everyone except themselves second class citizens. We are talking about religious rejects who coudln't behave in England and then used words like Strangers to describe the sailors and tradesmen keeping them alive here.

They continue it to today.

Imagine my glee when they celebrated the descedents of the Visigoth usurpers of Rome, the Mercernary Adventurer of Two Worlds, the fabled Marquis de Lafaytette.

Who died and gave them their titles ?

We did.

I find an article about the LaFayettes as useless as 300 million American would find an article about the Ottavianos. Who cares !
