Lord this makes me ill. I'm sorry, if I'm going to get BLOWN AWAY for being an American, I'm going to stand up and take a few with me, or die trying. I refuse to die on my knees bleating helplessly. Sheeeesh and we wonder at why the world considers us soft and vulnerable! I wonder how many would react to the same question in the same manner if the question was "RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN?" And I wonder what God would say when they faced HIM after such a denial? To live is Christ...to die is gain....
Oh yes, and if you're on a plane that has been hijacked, cooperate fully and you'll probably be released when you land - or crash into a building.

My hand is raised and so is my husband's. No human being on this planet could stop us from it.
Mistaking us for soft - now THAT would be a serious mistake.
