Hey, Mark, thanks for the moral support. I just feel that I've been out of touch so long with how things are going in the States that I want to make peace here.

I've also felt that the politically correct thing has been carried way too far, but since I don't know the people involved, I feel I can't really judge things. I don't know what they've been through or experienced.

I know only how I used to feel in Fam. homes when everyone (not Americans) would start cutting down Americans. I didn't like it. At the same time, I don't feel like I belong to any particular race or country. I think I'm a "mongrel". A mix of British, Scottish and German. Woof.
