::sigh:: Karl Rove did a lot of harm to the public discourse in this country. For what it is worth, I don't think that people who disagree with you hate America, necessarily. Honest.

You're putting words in my mouth ;) I don't buy into the comic-book version of US foreign policy -- and I really think it's rich to cite the Mexican border as proof of American enlightenment, hehe. Have you ever *been* to southern Mexico? Or talked to the people that risk their lives to cross that border? Wow. I don't want to believe that the US does any good in the world? It does, but you can't prove it by the Mexican border ;) Or stay closer to home. Just visit the Mexican border and you will see thousands of people risking their lives to come to the US because of economic and social oppression in places like southern Mexico. If you don't want to believe that the US does any good in the world, that's your business. > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
