I have to agree, at least in part. I'm 74, so I remember well the events of the last century.
My wife and I have traveled fairly extensively and we have always been treated well, where ever we've gone. For example, I've been to both Germany and Japan and been treated hospitably in both countries. I will never forget a wine festival my wife and I attended in the Rheingau (and my head, the next morning!). The singing! The dancing! The bottles of good wine! It is hard to realize that forty years before, we were at each other's throats. Most people seem to be able to get along, one on one. We lived in Europe for almost five years and enjoyed it thoroughly and met many, many nice people of all nationalities. On the other hand, I can't understand how people can do such horrible things to each other, particularly in the name of religion. I'll never understand how someone could saw off the head of another human being and then show a tape of the event on television. Likewise, how can people fly a jumbo jet loaded with fuel into a building, killing over 3,000? It is beyond my capabilities... At least I have the horn. It is now time for my daily practice. I have a new Yamaha 667 I'm getting used to, and I look forward to see what I can do today... Hans wrote: >That´s , what I said.
