Prudy Hey! Beware! That is exactly what is called being un-american. If you can't accept the double standard, stay out of America, as the saying goes here. "Do onto others, but don't let them do it to you." - has been the New American Motto of foreign policy for the last Bush years and is exactly the reason why so many Arabs are pissed at you. Fucking others as much as you can, sooner or later has that effect. "What you sow is what you reap" as the saying goes. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
