As Colin so eloquently has put it, I second that toast. Watching the excitement unfold tonight, I could not help but feel a little jealous of the entire political process in the US, compared to us in Canada, where the electoral process is full of back biting, bullying, and numerous other offensive characteristics. Listening to Sen. McCain's concession speech, and then the riveting speech of President-elect Obama, all I could say was, "Wow, what a country you fortunate Americans have". Good for you, and God Bless America! .....Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, Canada. _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
