Perfectly logical & reasonable, as a clear object lesson to even the most densely ignorant! I grat all their freedom of chjoice & preferences, so long as it isn't harming others, & taking our money to support their causes that we don't believe in, is a harm, IMO. I work darn hard for what little I take home! I honestly feel I deserve to keep at least this much, or more, b ut certainly not have my share go DOWN for a propject that has no real upside to it, based on past events & relevant history. I'm of the belief that when someone says they are going to kill you, it's always best to believe them & prepare accordingly. Pre-emptive action is not wrong. >> > Otherwise we might pull another 1812 on ya! >> >> I'm pretty sure we won that one, along with the Pig Wars & 54/40. . . > Yeah, well, uh, that is, ah... :) Some of it is debated still, & that's okay -- ancient history, under 200 years of old rugs! I have no feelings on the matter. Y'all are Canada's big brother/uncle.

Yup & makng some of the best food on the planet, as I've heard it said -- it always looks so good on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives! >> Life went on & we became best of friends for many years! > That's like the US and Britain, as well as numerous countries in Europe. > They go at it tooth and nail for a while then become friends again. > Of course they sort of have to, being so close to each other. Like boxers who try to basdically kill each other in the ring for some time, but then go drinking together yhe next day, best of buddies (wrestlers, too, like any other co-actors in the same series) I don't believe in grudges anyway; I personally lost nothing in any of thosewars. Onlyl 54/40 & the Pig Wars really were anywhere near where I ended up! & even if I did lose some thing, I'm pretty darn sure nobody alive today was directly responsible! Same as I'm not responsible for anything OTHER white men may have done in past times. I'm only responsible for myself & I'm an all-round nice guy, & hold no prejudices, & do all I can to right what wrongs still exist. Pretty much everyone I know is the same. Not sure where the media gets its hate news from. . . Never met an evil man-hating feminist &/or lesbian. I got no beef with either. I havea beef with certain specific ideas, philosophies, & quotes beng propagated, but never met anyone who ascribes to them. I conclude the media has a giant stick & they're stirring the muck below the seat in a berry farm's outhouse used by seasonal pickers for the past 20+ years. I say those who stir the 'muck,'(to be delicate & genteel *snrk*) should have to lick the spoon! Best of the coming week to you, sir! & continuing good health for you & your family. . . --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-6 * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757) .
