Why, oh why, doesn't your moronic response surprise me, Don. I am proud to
be an American, particularly because being an American gives me the right,
no, gives me the duty, to speak out when I disagree with the policies and
behaviors of my goverment - which, after all, speaks and acts on MY behalf
and on behalf of my fellow citizens. Having that right is, of course, one of
the most important differences between America and the countries and systems
you claim to so despise. But the fact that you don't understand doesn't
surprise me at all, because their seems to be hardly any difference between
"super patriots" like yourself and those you consider your enemies.

Cheers
B. D.

B.D. It seems you are still just as anti-America as ever.
