I am certainly better informed of America's political decisions than most Americans are .. yes of that there is little doubt.<br><br>Actually, there is a great deal of doubt, at least on this end ;-)<br><br>I am certainly unbiased which gives me a lot more room for clear vision.<br><br>There is not any wool over my eyes. and that is a fact.<br><br>ooooooookaaay ...<br><br>What color is the sky in your world?<br><br>Unfortunately, your statements here make it harder for me to treat your posts with any great seriousness ...<br><br>Have fun there in Middle Earth ;-)<br><br>***matt<br><br>Turn up the signal, wipe out the noise ...

Well, why not go ask one?

in my country we don't grandstand politics .. because we are all far too well versed on the subject.. something on which you obviously have no power base to argue from. thus .. nothing will be missed.<br><br>-----------------------------------------------------------------<br> "Behold the Turtle, he maketh no progress ==== until he sticketh out his neck." <br>-----------------------------------------------------------------

... but I'm feeling a little frisky tonight, so what the hell - I break my own rule:<br><br>So tell us, Tree, exactly what country *is* it that you come from, whose citizens hold themselves in such high regard?<br><br>***matt<br><br>Turn up the signal, wipe out the noise ...

thought you weren't going to talk to me anymore?<br><br> <br>why we are none but your "Sheriff's of the Pacific".. the guys who did manage to pinpoint all your targets in Iraq by being on the ground before you entered ... despite being denied access to your info .. we supplied you with what you needed.<br><br>you bombed the targets with our assistance <br>...and we still haven't lost a military life .. other than attached reporters.. attached to US military,..that is<br><br>none but the best .. at your service.. and don't you forget it. <br><br><br>-----------------------------------------------------------------<br> "Behold the Turtle, he maketh no progress ==== until he sticketh out his neck." <br>-----------------------------------------------------------------

So now, you've become so lazy that you're using this to write your *cough* opinions?<br><br>

Steve, first of all, why are you so patronizing? Is it because your age or position or because you're a judge? What makes you sit on such a high horse? djstefan might be wrong, but he certainly has some interesting points. There are other disagreeing with him too, but after reading through 100 messages I can feel that you're going after him. You know smart people act stupid, stupid people act smart. BTW, I mostly agree with you, I'm just complaining about the style. You do the same thing to me sometimes and I feel it inappropriate, so I felt for dj.<br><br>[color:green]One man's compost is another man's potpourri.</font color=green>

I'm sure these places match or superseed the quality of life of the best states in the US.<br><br>[color:green]One man's compost is another man's potpourri.</font color=green>

If your comments are so true...why in the heck does everyone want to come to America? And for what's his face DJ. Oh sad can it be to be a man without a country always running from himself. Please educate me on the world, but please remember I have done some traviling myself and have experienced the good and bad on many lands. But then again it is what we make of our visits. As Kennedy said many years ago (I think) "Ask not what your country can do for you but what can you do for your country". What contributions have you made to your country to make it a better place to live and for your children to live?<br><br>
