agreed to a point regarding selective memories of the past.

i found an equal number claiming to be glad they were pow's in american camps.

no matter.

i watched the 3rd man tonite. written by a brit and played by americans in post war vienna. with a few russian and french touches representing the 4-power occupation. filmed in '49. wasn't like Pixote at all.

hard to make a sandwich when one slice of bread is missing.

so where were we regarding the c0llapse of 2001 and beyond?
