Heirloom glad you show up considering you are a big XP
driver now. I return your Merry Christmas and Happy New Year wishes. I'm off to sunny Florida next week for Christmas.

Now look what you did, OldHillbilly. This Sugien *Tennager in a box* seems to rattle everyone's cage with his *artificial* patriotism. The US he is talking about, is a thing of the past. Ever since this latest edition of leadership in GB we are going down hill or backwards, not ahead. To justify his actions, he has to use or censor the media to propagate his lies as being *legal*. It is high time for us Americans to realize that fact, because the world already knows it. The display of military power doesn't compensate for humane inequities and the extent of the present volume of terrorism was unduly aggrevated by the wrongly motivated invasion of Iraq. To change rhetoric down the course doesn't make it right either Iraq before the *fall* never was a threat to our freedom, while it now just might be. I love this country, my country, but injustice or lies have to be opposed, simply because we do so ourselves. Harry. "OldHillbilly" wrote in message oups.com...

And a Merry Christmas to you too, or Noel, or whatever shoe fits, Paul, as long as you are happy, that's what counts. The 76, is it the number of posts under this subject? BTW you may talk to yourself, but don't answer. If you do, it means *trouble right here in river city*. Thinking for myself and the right way always was fun to me.

76 is my age. This is #160 as far as this thread is concerned. I should have done what was suggested by Heater and many others Plonk, but as you said "to err is human".
