I understand your point ...RJ Adams ~~ Oh dear RJ. I understand your point of view, yet - if one doesn't "engage" there's no chance of doing much to fix things. I know that's an empty argument, because voting doesn't seem to do jack s..t these days, yet it's all we have, and all we'll ever have. <br /><br /><i>"There's a hole in my bucket dear Lisa dear Lisa, there's a hole in my bucket dear Lisa a hole.<br /><br />Then fix it dear Henry, dear Henry dear Henry, then fix it dear Henry, dear Henry fix it!</i><br /><br />(Winks and exits left.)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-16993606068618084672012-07-05T08:27:05.131-05:002012-07-05T08:27:05.131-05:00Wisewebwoman ~~ Yes - perhaps the "parents&qu...Wisewebwoman ~~ Yes - perhaps the "parents" are to blame - the original set of elite Brits who came here. I emphasis ELITE because my own ancestors had nothing to do with any of the horrors the elite inflicted here - or elsewhere. My lot were as far under the yoke of the aristocracy and landed gentry as any Native population - wherever.<br /><br />Brits no doubt learned their skills from the Vikings, the Romans and other marauding groups early on.

I believe, as a citizen of this planet, that I have a right to live on whichever lump of rock I choose. Most Americans came by their citizenship through the same process that made me British - birth. I have no particular allegiance to the UK, and absolutely none to the US, though from time to time I still suffer nostalgia for the land of my birth.<br />The fourth of July is a meaningless day for me. I cannot wish, "Happy Birthday" to a nation steadily dragging the rest of the world towards oblivion by the ungodly combination of crass ignorance and total military dominance.<br /><br />Happy Independence Day! ;-)R J Adamshttp://sparrowchat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-79607749764281669062012-07-04T18:38:18.786-05:002012-07-04T18:38:18.786-05:00As say in Canada, we sleep with the big elephant i...As say in Canada, we sleep with the big elephant in the bed next to us.<br /><br />Growing pains.
