Re: [Leica] Canadians, slavery and the health care system: OT...oh and Nazis too [No Nazis]

Well hell I suppose an apology is in order here to save my life and before
my computer goes into absolute melt down!!!! Whew I was that bad!

A/
I'm not a bigot... though due to my comments some obviously want to kill me
because I appear so. Have never been and will never be, no point to it as we
as human beings are all equal and if you don't believe me cut your finger
and that of any number of other human beings and we all bleed red!

And that alone makes us all brothers and sisters of the human race And I had
that drummed into me from childhood!

My obviously off the wall non politically correct comments were from shear
frustrations of late with the LUG and the many non-Leica and absolutely
non-photographic topics streaming by the screen daily.

Yes and I did use the delete key as has been suggested by several, but when
what at one time was the most and without question best list in the world
for information and fun and family about Leica and photography seems to have
become some kind of tipid list of banality.

Heck even the scotch and pens of the old days were more interesting than of
late.

However, I apologize to those who were and are offended due to my remarks,
let me assure you I see this as a black day for me to have lost control of
myself with this outburst.

Sorry folks,
ted
