#6 There was an article the other day bemoaning the fact that the different right wing groups couldn't work together and reach an agreement to govern, while the left was organizing like a turbo cancer. It occurred to me that the reason might be the rightists wouldn't compromise their various different principles while the left's only principle was the drive for power.

#7 Grom - he was Corsican. And if you think they're Italian, go up to a small town square in Corsica and shout that out. I'll wait...

#8 ^Nitpick, nitpick.
Genetic research has revealed that the Corsican samples presented affinities with people from the French region of Provence and the Italians from Tuscany, Liguria, Campania, Sicily and Latium.

Grom, wasn’t the Corsican culture impacted by several centuries of being subjugated by Islam, unlike both the rest of Italy and France?

#10 #4 a bit nitpicky, but several the early leaders of the modern state of Israel were from Russia. Still didn't have a problem giving the local regional threat a bit of the grapeshot when they needed it.

I bet there is a little Neanderthal DNA in the mix too, if you know what I mean *nudge*nudge*wink*wink*.

Interesting map of France. We see that same distribution of big Lefty cities vs a more conservative countryside here in our own states.
For example: 2012 Presidential Election by county

Amusing to note that a plot of zombie infestation and a plot of socialist ideas would look the same.

#14 #10. P2k: Russian Jew ==> some Russian genes. Russian genes ==> some Viking & Tatar genes. I guess, my wish to go full Tamerlane on Iran, and give blood eagle to Tony Guterres might have a genetic basis?😎
