Subject: Re: AMERICA, RIGHT OR WRONG?

gosh, two uncloaks in one week, this is a record for me...blame the two 
people who gave me positive reinforcement and flakmagnet whose response 
was neither positive nor negative, but appropriate nontheless.

Executive Summary:  
    Rock On DAWG! See below for sound byte, knee jerk responses.

>i am an America. i am proud of it. I have fought for it. and when i was
>a soldier, i swore my OATH TO THE CONSTITUTION, not to any person
>living or dead.
>
me too.  I believe in the constitution, at least the inclusiveness and 
interpreted spirit of it rather than the actual reasons for it's
existence.

>wrong is wrong.
>
sorry, that's just wrong.  wrong is right when wrong flies in the face 
of injustice, I think that was pretty well ensconced as part of our 
culture by the likes of Batman and Spiderman..

>what was done 100 + years ago	was done; we should  remember it and
>avoid repeating it, but should not  waste time, money or tears over it
>
I think the tears are not wasted, they remind us that we, too, are 
fallible, frail, and human.

>or try to re write  events to make one  party look worse than the
other;
>the facts will  reveal who was in the wrong . 
>
the truth is defined by the one who writes the account and we cannot 
avoid that interpretiveness of the account.  Although I think it's 
important not to silence a voice because we disagree with it.

>and we as a people clean our dirty drawers in full view of the  world
as
>a general rule.
>
I believe this gives us strength.  I applaud the frankness of this 
statement, even if we only really clean our socks when it is politically

important and beneficial to us.

>all of the wailing and gnashing of teeth or claims to the  countrary
>will not change the  fact that WE-the USA-are the modern world's ONE-
>and- ONLY SUPER  POWER.
>
And, I ask, who cares?

>and our day will come when we are surplanted by another SUPER
POWER-that
>is the way things work. 
>
word, brother!

>BUT,  until, then, when the crap hits the fan in someplace you never

>heard of or wanted know about, UNCLE SAP . . .

why is "he" a sap? I thought you loved this country, oh, that was 
sarcasm... never mind.

 so there nyah nyah nyah

>but remember, the Amerindians were not ever pastoral, tree hugging,

I wish that were not true, I rather enjoy the romance of the Native 
American Plight (That borders on distastefully racist and inelegant, but

I think Pocohontas was a hottie, anyway, so there, I'll insult everyone 
who isn't short, fat, balding, white, and geeky like me, all the while 
respecting their tall, thin, coiffured (sp?) colorful attractive selves)

>a fact that tends to be lost in the PC shuffle nowdays.
>
Didn't the Chicago Bears do a version of the PC shuffle?  Woob Woob Woob

Woob! pick two! nyuck nyuck nyuck!

Somehow my interest in the list is renewed, I read no less than 50 
emails today!  Woohoo!
