To Flyer and freethehostages: Isn't Michelle Malkin great (and talk about photogenic!)? I find her articles refreshing reading. I should also qualify my rash-sounding "CLOSE THE BORDERS" statement to: "CLOSE THE BORDERS TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION!" Got no argument with those who, like one of my parents, go through legal processes to obtain citizenship.
To aquamarine: You wrote, "Your replies here at FR are some of the most level headed and well thought out." Good Lord, woman -- since WHEN?? <|:)~ But thank you.
To everyone: Thanks again for reading this thread about little ol' me. Please remember these good feelings if I should ever flame you. <|:)~
