" The New Englander is half-mad. His idea of a good time is to preach sermons 51 weeks of the year, and destroy buildings on the 52nd. Besides, he lacks the refinement that can only come from wielding absolute power over a servile class.'
'The Southerner's religion is corrupt; his morals are lax; his plantations are cruel; his women are easy. His life is (shudder) deeply tempting.'
'Non-Pennsylvanians are all obsessed.'
'Hey, I'm Jewish. Where can I go but Rhode Island?'
Any chance of uniting all of these? Not in 1765! "
