Wish I could share your enthusiasm, H, but what we are doing in Iraq is making me sick. Things on the homefront don't look much different either. Either we change course, or take a beating in world opinion and don't tell me it wouldn't matter. Glad to get this off my chest. From here on I promise to mind my own business. Harry. "Heirloom" wrote in message ... Thanks, Ed......glad to see someone else shares my "live and let live" philosophy. (of course, that only goes as far as when it intrudes on me or my personal beliefs.....then I will fight for what I feel is right). I'm half Limey, myself......most of my living relatives are in the UK. I don't put anyone down for race, religion, country of origin, politics, etc. as long as they don't trespass on me or mine. And for Shane.......I'll just say that one man CAN change the world, if he has enough ammo! Heirloom, old and stockpiled "Ed Meza" wrote in message ink.net... Very well said Heirloom. I'm also an American and do have UK friends. I for example do take offense when someone puts down people from the UK. We all do have problems, but one should never generalize *all* the people, let alone races, etc. of a country. Yes, I believe there are good people everywhere and have experienced it personally. As for paying that much money to a person, this is beyond our control, big business, big enterprises which is a different issue. Peace to all! Ed "Heirloom" wrote in message ... Although, I have to agree, in part, with some of your statements, I find it disheartening and personally offensive that you would 'generalize', as you did. ALL Americans are not as you depicted, in fact, I would go as far as saying MOST Americans are not. "Arrogant and ignorant".........I am neither. And, it would be the 'fat cats' at Adidas, Motorola, Pepsi, etc. that are putting the bulk of the $250 Mil in his pocket. I have to agree, nobody is worth that kind of money......and, yes, it would be much better served as a charitable contribution to help those in need.

No prob, Harry. You are, indeed, entitled to your opinions and to share
them is your privilidge. That's what makes this country of ours so great. Not enough room in this NG for me to express my standings on the Iraq scenario, so, I won't even try.
