Robert- I have been playing Devil's Advocate. My point is that we should always have a little healthy skepticism and at least consider what is out of the box even though the box has usually got the answer so that we aren't easily deceived. We all have access to the tools to get a broader view using the internet. I get upset when I see many people getting carried off with the emotion of the moment. That can frequently lead to rash actions. Personally I tend to intellectualize these situations before I get upset. Sometimes that is not a good thing either but that's the way I am. Sorry if it disturbs you. If you are concerned about my allegiance you don't have to worry. I am a native born citizen of Miami, Florida and I am not at all political nor do I have any ties to any Arabs or Islam. I do frequent an eastern Mediterranean restaurant that has great food however. They have the best falafels I have ever had.

I do respect the rights of others to express themselves freely. I suggest you stop trying to intimidate other posters like George and me for stating our opinions as it is very un-American to try to censor those you do not agree with, imo! Also, imo, when someone criticizes some aspect of our country or government they are not necessarily a critic of America as you state George is! Who are you to judge sir? Its just your opinion!
