I would like to start this off by saying I couldn't agree more with the thoughts Bogie shared with the world.
When you think about it, we have always been at odds, with one country or another, for our freedoms. I think it tends to irritate those who feel it is their dream to be in power and have complete control.
We are a country made up of people from every corner of the planet, bar none. Our success has to be an issue with the people in the more repressed areas. Even our poverty level people make more money than high powered people in some countries. This has to piss them off.
I could go on, but I won't right now. Bogie did a much better job of summing it up. Maybe some time in the future I'll get on a soap box and continue.
I don't know what caused Bogie to write her post, but we've been thinking along the same lines recently. She was clearly more eloquent than I on the subject, and I'm glad to see that, once again, we are of like minds. It's nice to see that you are in that same place, too, WichiDude. *S*

Ya know, some things, you juuust CAN'T argue with. That's one of them.

Eloquent, I've been called [swoon]eloquent[/swoon]. I had actually been trying to figure out what I wanted to say for a couple of days prior to posting, but it took me that long to get it together enough to make sense.
Actually I thought Buffy's post was better than mine, so I guess we'll have to agree that it is a tie.

OK. That's fair.

Thanks for the kind thoughts. I consider myself fortunate to be in such good company.
