Thanks, Albert. Yes, I noticed you had a hard time when you came on board. Sometimes on these thread yer just gotta take the attitude: "Hey, I play hockey ... I can take a hit!" If you were to look back you wouldn't believe what's been heaped on me--lol! So it goes.
Have you read what I just posted? Looks like England, Italy and Turkey are getting cold feet to Bush's plans. As they should. It's not well planned, and pretty much we're seeing two things: a) a bunch of hawk advisors who've unfortunately got Bush's ear, juxtrapositioned against the emotion of what Bush's dad went through the last time around; and, b) highly effective public relations people like Karl Rove and Roger Ailes, and strong public relations firms, each of whom know how to whip up public opinion. Albert, believe me, I'm sincere: this is a very bad combination!
Anyway, good luck on the thread. I think, overall, you'll find people nicer than some of them may appear to me. At least that's what I like to believe. Hang in there, and keep your smile in front of you. Yes, I sometimes am Utopian--maybe a bit too much of the Silver Surfer in me--lol!
He's got the 101st Airborne now heading to Turkey, and they might have to change direction. Not a good way to run a war. |
