Luther - Even though I suspect that you probably have a European heritage like many of us, but like it or not, English forms the foundation of what we commonly call the American language. I wouldn't dare to even try and make you a British/English citizen! ;-)) Actually, I'm of the opinion that most true Americans are descendents of the people who lived in the American Continent before those meddlesome furriners took over, about 500+ years ago! So if you prefer, you can just have fun with your mercedes-benz and run it on dino or bio fuels.
