Those people wanted to improve America, not denigrate it. There were people like you then who thought them freaks...if you forget, you.ve come a long way or have a severe case of nostalgia. It's okay, though, as the denigration of America has become the central theme of liberalism worldwide. This is a very typical intellectually lazy stereotype.... Al

Let me see if I can make this any clearer to you. Go back in time when dubya was 16. His father had bought Crawford ranch. Dubya and his friends would go out to the ranch and waterski on the lake, drive an old jeep around and horseback ride. In hi school, dubya was water boy for one of the ball teams. He would take the team out to his ranch from time to time. However, if you crossed him, you didn't get to go.....it didn't matter who you were. Dubya learned to use his possessions to get what he wanted and to maintain control. And the other guys got it. Flash forward 40 years..........dubya is playing the same game on a bigger scale. Crawford is no draw for an adult but it tells you who's on the A list and who is not. You get an invite to the ranch, you know you're favored. What was a rather stupid way of being as a kid....an insecure kid at that......becomes quite obnoxious as an adult. BTW Schroeder and Chirac understand the game perfectly and ignored it. That's what got ole dubya really p*ssed at them. Oh and what's dubya's Crawford Ranch equivalent as an adult.....it doesn't take a psychologist to figure that one out......why its the United States of America. That's his adult draw. Pretty pathetic when you stop and think about it. Now if you think the behavior of the 16 year old dubya or the adult dubya is perfectly acceptable behavior, then we don't have anything further to talk about. However, in my experience, greatness does not come from this quality of insecure behavior. In conclusion, I am not denigrating America; just dubya's version. There's a very big difference.
