Luther would have been better off just eliminating the Dutch.

The Dutch never let him into the country.  He was just a pale imitation of Calvin.

I might agree, but I like Dutch Windmill cookies.  Were those invented before or after Luther lived?

Don't know.  Were Keebler elves involved?

The proper term for those are "Santa Claus" cookies.

I thought Scoop was referring to the cookies that looked like windmills by Salerno or Nabisco

I was and that makes for a funny-looking Santa Claus.  I guess that explains CurtOne's aversion to the Dutch.

But it may not explain why 99% of the rest of the world has an aversion to the Dutch.  Punch a hole in a dike and the country disappears.

Well, it would 100% but there are a handful of Dutch that like each other.  Most of them are visually and olfactory impaired.
