That's cool. I'll check.

Yes, I got the photo. She died too young. What kind of cancer?




Moonlight Mile sent another diatribe. I did not read it, except for
the first paragraph and the last. Too distressing for me to read the
writings of fools and nuts. I will no longer read nor respond to him
or David. David is unwise, but Mile is a nutjob. It would be well if
you and DXace and all others ignore them; maybe they'll go away. I do
not participate in these groups to find kooks, flakes, and haters. I
took history in college, and enjoyed it. Made excellent grades.
History is important, it should be studied carefully, but very rarely
is. Something I noticed in American history is that the country
should not be here. From the beginning and through every period of
American history, we've overcome pitfall after pitfall, beat all the
odds. The odds are overwhelming that we still exist, and exist with
so much power. Like Paul Harvey said, we have only 5% of the worlds
population, but half of all its good things. I firmly believe the
hand of Providence is in it. There is so much that should've gone
wrong; a benevolent first president that could have become king, but
guided a young Republic. The first of Presidential elections went
with a smooth transition of power (there was much enmity between
parties involved) which never occurred before in history. And on and
on and on.

Something else I learned: Judge past historical players NOT by your
own standards, or the present day standards. They must be judged by
the standards of the period, and of their PEERS. When they lived, the
future did not exist! No brainer, ha.
Too easy to fall into the hindsight trap. The US had many faults and
did some bad things, but the only proper way to judge her is by
comparing her to other peoples and nations during the relevant periods.

Hey, moron. I was asked to post again. I did so. I have a much more material.
If you didn't have your head up your ass, you would bothered to read my post and
realized that at least some of U.S. misdeeds are not at all in the distant past.
And if you wanted to know even more about your "great" country and even more
recent misdeeds. You must have no awareness of recent national and international
events. The U.S. attacked Afghanistan w/o proper cause, killing not one person
known to be directly connected with the 9/11 attacks. All reasons for attacking
Iraq _again_ (March 20, 2003) have been discredited, and we're still there after
nearly 4 years. The Iraqis are worse off now than they were under Saddam. We've
imposed a puppet goverment there, built 4 permanent military bases there we are
staying there permanently. Same thing in Afghanistan! We've tortured innocent
people; we've wiretapped our own people. This is not hindsight! What the hell
would be a relevant period if not the _present period_. Read the book I
mentioned in an earlier posts--lots of good stuff, almost all reliably sourced.
You got the balls to face the truth? Do you anything of current events?????? You
and peqple like you should not be allowed to vote.

I have no idea what Paul Harvey or you mean by "good things". If you mean
wealth, then your point is specious at best. We actively prevent other countries
from modernizing and acquiring wealth.

I just have no idea what it takes to get through to people like you. You don't
even bother to read when the material heads towards the painful truths. Doesn't
matter, I guess. The U.S. is in for a very painful fall, soon if conservative
Republicans regain full control.

Here's some timeless wisdom for you:

"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away." --?

Like I said, what you believe or don't believe, doesn't matter. The realities
I've described will not go away.


Last, I'll point out that you failed to show the simple courtesy I requested in
my previous post. I shouldn't have had to make that request...it's a USENET
courtesy!
