I, and I'm sure most of the U.S. contingent on this list appreciate
your good wishes, BUT, I would be remiss in my duty as chief grouch
on here, if I didn't note that, in this country, patriotism is
waning, the "one people" of the 40's and before are now severely
divided, one langusage is now, for all practical purposes, two,
interest in the flag is lagging, and fewer and fewer stand together
in adversity and success.

Again, thanks, from an Yank with concern for my dividing country
also. Dammit! I love my country and if a citizen of yours, I would
love it. Vive la difference! Screw One World Gommint!
