Hey Glacier Dude! Thanks comments. Super. Great points. I can give you an answer to your points as it reminds me of a time I was at a Board meeting. I was arguing and debating a resolution that had international implications. The U.S. position was sucking wind. We were losing, didn't have enough votes around the table and I knew it. I got up and walked around the room while talking, looking at every person in the eye while making an impassioned argument that we didn't have to do what those outside the U.S. were doing. We didn't have to conform to their policy. I got a bit torked at the line of discussion and finally said in stern words, "We are Americans, and that ought to count for something." And that's the answer. We get to the goal line. We achieve. In war, we all pull together. We win. We are Americans. And with that, the sun just burst out of the clouds. Bright. The little rain cloud has moved on. Take care, Scott. Thanks to your Dad as well, my Friend, for helping assure that I can lay out here in this hammock, in my own backyard, on my land, in freedom.
