John - thanks for the clarification. You are right, the US does have some problems - whenever I hear about a public shooting (like the one yesterday in Texas), or a corrupt politician (I won't name any names here), or companies rising to stratospheric market valuations for no reason (like Red Hat or TheGlobe.com), I realize that the US has some major problems to deal with. But as with any other country (and I've travelled to and have lived in quite a few of them), there are a lot of honest and hard working people here in the US. And I'm confident that we will figure out how to solve some of these problems. And as I'm sure you would agree, there are many positive aspects about the US. Anyway, thanks for the perspective. -Eric
