Now reread my e-mail, it was sent tongue-in-cheek. We know full well our country and system also is not perfect, but at least we have a chance to try to do something about it. If you look at the census you will find that the America you seem to dispise is made up of all nationalities, races, and creeds. We try to be tolerant but like any society we have the racists and the nobs. And imperfect as our system is the law is for all Americans. America is a work in progress. Whether we blindly follow Bush or not remains to be seen. Most of the people I know are asking where is the information that says we must bomb or on what basis does he think we are threatened. So far he has not made his case to the people. And that is what we have to make him present, the facts and the need, because in the end it is my sons who could die in war. We are also concerned about the actions he is taking and it may show up in the forthcoming elections, we will see. My father told me: " do not debate politics or religion, it is a debate that you can not win" So with that I will say no more and hope that the rest of us can do the same, back to the business of linux. -- Dennis M. linux user #180842
