Thanks for the reply. You have to understand that much of what is said in these forums is just hot air. Somewhere in my 56 years of living someone once said to me, "Believe nothing that you hear and only half of what you see." I would place the printed word in the same category as things you hear. My elderly father-in-law, a tough old west Texas cowboy, once told me with misty eyes that he regretted most the freedoms he had lost during his lifetime (1910s to 1990s). Regretfully we can almost be assured that as humans are pressed closer and closer together with population growth, more freedom will be lost and more laws will be passed to try and maintain fairness in the distribution of the few freedoms that still remain.

The knowledge of freedoms lost within a generation is usually lost to the next generation because each generation rarely listens to their parents about these sorts of things. Maybe this is a good thing or we would go mad if we could see the whole picture.

It's got to be at least 90%.
