> The whole point of the post was that it came to me from someone who is NOT an American. The person who sent it to me was born Jewish in Austria, was educated in England, moved to Buenos Aires to escape the Nazi Holocaust, and eventually settled in Montevideo, Uruguay. He is now in his seventies and I consider him my South American Father. He sent it to me as an expression of a non-American's appreciation for our country and an expression of support for what we are going through. > > I'm sorry if anyone was offended. > > Linda
