Spoken well Sir Art. I only tried to get a few opinions . Never thought it
would lead to the end of the world as we know it . You know art ,,,we here
in the US are pretty lucky , we have never had to worry about our house
being shelled , a B-52 strike. We know if broke there are ways to get food ,
housing , medical attention and protection . We've never had to see our home
taken by an invading army , nor have we ever had to put up with a
totalitarian leader. We vote , we are free to voice our opinions (with the
exception of yelling "fire" in a theatre) and we are free to travel about
our country and come and go from other countries. We Americans should be
proud of who we are and grateful for how we are able to live . I traveled
abroad and was never happier then when I was able to plant my feet back on
good old terra firma Americana. This in no means is intended to be a slap or
snipe at other countries but more of a "open your eyes and see how well we
have it" statement .
How about this as a general idea. if the message subject begins as "
Non-shell related " take it as that and don't read it if you don't want to.
