Thank you for the update on your Dad, Texasflower; I've been wondering how he was. I'll continue to keep him in my prayers, and will add the poor 39 year old man in ICU to my prayers, as well.
I am sorry if I upset anyone last night regarding my comments regarding the President and VP this was the last thing I intended to do; after all my original postings on the dose were connected with how I felt the morality in England was so much lacking and that I sensed that there was a movement in America to restore integrity and morality.
I did not in anyway intend to disrespect either the office of President or the Vice President whom I hold in great regard both for their office and for them as honourable faithful family men.
Again in America I feel that you do have more respect for your President and Vice President Office that we do for our Prime Minister and Cabinet. I think also your own government have more respect for the offices than ours do it is noticeable that when interviewed the President and VP are normally referred to either Mr so and so or by their title of office also even the other Cabinet members refer to them as such. In England we do not seem to have the same respect; Cabinet members and even just members of their own party in Parliament will just refer to the Prime Minster as “Tony” when giving an interview. Sometimes even the reporter will use their Christian name or just Mr so and so very rarely do they say Mr Prime Minister or Prime Minster Blair. This again is probably a sign of the times in the UK and general erosion of standards to which I feel I possibly contributed to myself yesterday.
My postings yesterday were meant in good humour but perhaps this was not the time or place to have said what I did and I do sincerely apologise if I have offended anyone.
