RE: The Alamo

I can assure you that comparitively few of us Aussies (please note: not “ozzies”) has any wish whatsoever to become part of the United States.
Many Australians joke about Australia already being the 51st state but it is a derogatory term. We believe there is already far too much US influence out here, with MacDonalds, Pizza Hut and KFC on every corner, our politicians being too prepared to hop into bed with Bush and generally having our language infiltrated with Americanisms, such as “fries” and “burgers”, instead of chips and hamburgers.
No thanks, mate, you can have it to yourself. Australians are fiercely independent and that’s the way we want it to stay.
