but I'll cross my finger instead of holding my breath

To cross that finger, will you 1) have to develop superhuman dexterity, and, even before then, 2) have to stop using it as a trigger lock?

Thank you so much for this thread and the things you have posted on here. I am sending them to family in emails . Also to our nephew that is one of the fireman in N.Y. He will love reading these posts you have here and the thread. Thank you .

I sent your advice on to my sister who is a financial advisor to wealthy people, and she wrote back "right on."

Today, because of your post, I went out and bought 6 trees for my newly landscaped back yard, instead of waiting as I planned. My newly forested back yard will be a tribute to those who lost their lives and to all Americans who believe in freedom.

I am certain you heard it on the news, but to watch the people as they viewed the changing of the Guard posted in #41 was really heart wrenching!

[Angelique]

Thanks RonDog! It was really something!

Thanks for this. Michael Medved read it on the radio yesterday and I've been trying to get time to transcribe it. Isn't it great!

[Lizzy W]

For another great essay, see the following:

I am an American After All. Even Me.

Yahoo! I like this little piece!

[LBGA]

Thanks for the bump. This has been posted at least six more times since this one, but I think some of the discussion on this thread is great and worth reading.

[gcruse]

You know, I actually got this in email a couple of days ago and didn't post it because it was not that current. Oh, well.

[LBGA]

WOW!! That really is a moving essay. Thanks for the link.

[mrustow]

My pleasure. It really moved me, too.

"HUNT DOWN AND PUBLICLY EXECUTE
THOSE RESPONSIBLE BY HANGING!"

Now now. That kind of talk is irresponsible and innapropriate. Our arab neighbors are fiercely traditional people and we don't want to insult those that help us by violating their sensibilities. I believe the traditional punishment for murder in these countries is to be beheaded publicly with a broad curved sword, or sometimes publicly stoned to death.
