>>My friend, there are things much worse than death. There are, also, things worth dying for.<<

Indeed. My comment was not meant to defend the position of the Pope as I wholeheartedly disagree with him. My comment was to defend age and experience from being prejudicially labled as cowards. A 60 year old personally has experienced the pain involved in jumping off a chair at age 60 and at age 18 where an 18 year old has only the narrower perspective. It's not cowardice to not want to jump off a chair at age 60, it is intelligence based on experience. The Pope's suggestion that America's defense be turned over to a world of despots and thugs is simply political since he would not be the one to suffer the consequences.

Oh ....... I see.

It's rather hard, sometimes, to distinguish intent via this dang keyboard.

I understand you, now, and totally agree.
