God bless you for your words of love and acceptance. You're certainly free to continue thinking I'm an arrogant airhead who only listens to propaganda (I'm sure Europe is free of such problems). All I know is, we live our lives based on what we know. I'm living based on what I read in media outlets from around the world, not just the nightly news from our American networks. That doesn't mean I believe everything, whether American or European or whatever. I simply read and try my best to understand world events. One world event that's very self-evident is, people think all we Americans are stupid and misguided. How arrogant is that? It's not only arrogant to say, it's simply untrue. To think our President didn't win the election fairly? Talk about false propaganda :-) Sorry, but I live in the very state where the election was contested.. Every subsequent recount of votes verified Bush won. It's true the race was close, but it's undeniable that he won. If you think that's untrue or stupid, sorry, but I beg to strongly disagree.. Anyway, I do hope one day hostile attitudes toward our nation will cease. Whether our leaders are right or not, we're a peace loving people and shouldn't be judged so harshly. Cheers to you, Skip .
