"Does not know what it means to be an American" is the favorite phrase of the nationalists who exist in every country. The last word can be subsituted for any country of the world. The question is, what is it to be an American? Or what does one have to do to be an American? Usually, for the Pat Buchanan-type, it usually means little more than their own narrow definition of self-identity that typically reflects an aversion to change. -- Tariq Siddiqui [ This Space for Rent ] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-W-E-B---S-I-T-E-=-=-= To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from GoaNet | http://www.goacom.com/goanet =================================================================== For (un)subscribing or for help, Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont want so many e=mails?
