    • And to think joecct was concerned my obviously extreme use of heterosexual imagery to illustrate the fallacy of similar homosexual imagery by the anti-gay marriage crowd led to a thread going off the tracks...

      This thread is marvelous. Carry on, all.
      I wish I am able to live long enough to do all the things I was attributed to.

        I did? Where? I ask because I can only find about 5 posts since I posted my chart and none was in reply to one of yours.

                  Well, not anymore there isn't. Look to its history and you will find plenty. Ever been to Fon du Lac, WI? How about Eau Claire or Lacrosse?

                    I lived in LaCrosse for years and can't say I ran into much of a French cultural presence there.

                    The city is named after a game played by Native Americans who once lived at that site, and I didn't notice a strong Native American presence either.

                    But then if I hadn't spent so much of my time on 3rd Street I might have had a broader cultural experience.

                      The game of Lacrosse was named by French explorers/immigrants who thought that the sticks looked like a bishop's scepter, which had a cross on the top, so Lacrosse is a French word. It makes sense to me that a town would be named that in an area that had at least some French influence.
                      If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

                          There is a strong French influence in Wisconsin history, from the early fur traders to Robert Lafollette, etc. The town I used to live in in western Wisconsin was loaded with folks of French heritage.

                            Most of the good folks of Wisconsin swore off all connections with the French, wimpy bastids, when they refused to support the Iraq invasion.

                                Naming a town is much different than mass immigration. All it takes is one successful exploration and one small group can re-name an entire region. I say re-name because I do not think any of those individuals the European explorers displaced coined all the French names. I lived in Fond du Lac for close to 20 years and I am not sure I met a single family who identified as French. Mostly German, Irish, Scandinavian, etc, like the rest of Wisconsin. More importantly for the discussion in this thread, either Catholic or Lutheran
