Not one for too much religious talk Pat but I will say the first of one side of my line came over here (North America) as an indentured servant, then sold to the shipping industry as a "slave" - it took him more or less 10 yrs to regain his freedom.
By the way just to stir this pot (LOL) the other half of the same line.. much later of course, fought for the south.....out of 13 - 4 died (three in the same battle!) & the two older girls were taken from the farm by northern soldiers - never to been seen or heard of again.
By the way - just to clarify - that bunch never owned slaves, didn't beleive in it, but still fought for the south.
Not sure what all this rambling means - But, I will say Lisa's view of love it or leave it has alot of merit. Also, even though we are each entitled to our our view - the comes time when we have to support our country, gov't etc. even though we don't agree with all of it's judgements, persons, etc. and change from within, peacefully whenever possible.....
As for the sick @SSHOLES who blow up babies and other innocents to prove a point in any country, anywhere in the world....they should be dealt with as deftly, harshly as possible here on earth & I for one am sure that they will be dealt with afterlife in an appropriate measure... A little religion here - but I personally have to beleive thisor I might turn into a vengence hunter....
Don't want to start another flame - But I said it.....
Running for cover

Religion - aaah my second favourite subject. Ever hear the phrase " Religion is the last resort of rogues and scoundrels"

5 day trin on buy signal again for tomorrow

Patrick
I dont understand the whole Irish thing
I dont understand the need to kill and destroy and maim innocent people.
but as it is not something I have lived through or part of my struggle or have first hand knowledge I just leave it for those that do have the knowledge.....

I do know while I was going to Cambridge University in England it was weird to be so frightened of bombs (more so than we are here) and I feel for those that have to live that way everyday. One went of while I was there. There were two other incidents while I was there.
Of course two were blamed on the IRA and one was blamed on animal rights activists....

The first time I had seen a policemen in the door of McDonalds for the entire time I was there...

first time I had a street blocked off where I was taking a casual stroll during a beautful day because a bomb was strapped to a bank building...

in what I thought would be a quaint little English town...

of course Alena Cho on CNBC is always talking about the grade school
children in Indiana having to go through metal detectors

next time someone calls you a slave trader...just tell them your heritage is one of being the slave!
