If I insulted you, I apologize as it was not my intention. I tried to take great care in not having that affect but I fear it is not an easy task. Sometimes even looking at an open wound can hurt. I would appreciate a PM telling me what exactly was insulting so as to not offend anyone else in similar discussions off/online..
Peace..

The content of the message was demeaning, derogatory and insulting, but I was not personally insulted... if that makes any sense. I guess it's all a "perspective" thing. More coming soon in a PM... But I wanted to make this part of my declaration, publicly...

>America was a beacon of light for quite a while......<
The problem with America is one shared with virtually every country on earth, whether a so-called democracy or not.
No political theorist in the past 500 years ever envisioned governments being as large as they are. When a government spends 40-50% of a nation's gross annual product, there just isn't a lot of give in the direction of individual freedom.
In any society there are only three types of people: heroes, zeroes, and mathamaticians. What made the U.S. great, until recently, is that there was plenty of room for our heroes and mathamaticians to do their work. Now they are being smothered by the zeroes.

Watch it now, Mama. You're putting my reputation as a bad example at stake.
