I must admit that the amount of information is overwhelming, and I have skipped quite a few links.

But, I feel we must remain open, within respects to be able to learn. BigJohn, at one point you needed the information to form your views, and an open mind is essential to keep growing. Oh, and about "enogh room on the dance floor for the women to get naked"....so that explains the New Baby thread!!! LOL

From a non US citizen, it has been somewhat interesting to learn about your government systems and the feelings of the people.

Yes, it's refreshing to realize that not all Americans fit the political stereotype that many foreigners apply to us, eh?

BBIBH- where are you from??

it is kinda funny how americans are often categorized by foreigners, but most of us are not how we are perceived to be. its even more funny when you see americans making assumptions about people by what state they are from.. and even people from the same state will make assumptions about each other by what city they are from in that state. and then assumptions are made by what side of that city you live on... ? does it make sense.. NO..

but, in the end, we are all individuals and we all have the right to make our own decisions. that is a priviledge a lot of people in some countries dont have.

And with all this said, it's time for another link.

This is one for highlight reels.

Yeah, exactly what is it that makes everyone from West Virginia date within their own family, anyway?

Is there a one tooth gene?

I'm not one to tell you guys how to get your points across, but linking to someone else's opinion piece annoys me. I like to hear what YOU think about stuff (and your opinions are usually easier to refute ). Links to statistical info are better, but you know what Twain(?) said about stats.

bigjohn, I have bids in on some audio equpment, though I've been outbid on every piece so far. However, I have purchased a number of lidded German beer steins. They seem way undervalued to me. They keep your beer cold while imbibing outside and the lids keep the bugs out. Some of them are antiques, as well.
