and it implies that the small business owners who are struggling in this environment are a bunch of whiners who don't put their own capital at risk.. No, it DOESN'T imply that. I was specifically referring to two small guys I saw on 60 minutes who were whining. I said that they, and any others like them, who blamed the banks for their problem, were wrong. You extrapolated that comment into a rant about me that I was saying any businessman's problem was that they were refusing to use their own capital and that I wasn't recognizing the Government's role in their problems. I don't believe that, never said that. My comment about immigrants was pointing out the society difference between our colder attitude toward helping family than a person from overseas, whose family attitude was I believe, much warmer on the average. You may disagree with that comment, but it is certainly nothing that should set off the explosion that you have posted here.
