I agree.  The only reason I responded is that I was getting tired of 
seeing so many Liberalistic views on this thread.  But, they are not my 
views.....and at this time they are not the majority of the populations 
views.

Its just like France and Germany stating that they represent the views 
of Europe.  They don't represent Europes' views, they represent their 
own views.  Last week, eight Nations stated that France and Germany do 
not represent their views and they are on the USA's side.

I am glad to see traffic up on this list.  But, it would be nice if we 
can stay away from politics.  I myself have better things to do than 
waste time in this Flame war.  You are not going to change my 
conservative views and I am not going to change your Liberal views.

Let this thread die.  I am not going to respond to it anymore.
