An American ruminates on the Special Relationship

     As the type of person quite familiar with the Yalta Conference, I have always reflected now and then upon 'the special relationship.'  This special relationship, this particularly close alliance between my United States and our English-speaking mother country Great Britain is receiving quite a breath of new life.  This is because our great American President Donald John Trump is an American's American; and the only exception he seems to make for this is that which many of our forefathers did, for Great Britain, our English-speaking mother country of Great Britain; and I agree that this is wise, and am seconding this with my own authority and energies. I'm not able to write an eloquent essay this evening as I have other work, but I will say that the people of Great Britain have been almost our own through the centuries; George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and others decided not to fully break from Britain really. Yes, we formed a new nation, but we left a living artery, a special relationship. The British have been an admirably free and civilized people over the centuries from before Voltaire's letter upon their freedoms which shocked the powerful French to the "Land of the Noble Giants," in "Gulliver's Travels" which shapes my own utilitarian legal philosophy. Allies of Great Britian, we need you, and hope you are there for us, as you always have been, even when we have asked a little too much; It's not a one-sided relationship, after all. Well, Jolly good, and cheerio!
