Chief Boring:
Mr. day-o addressed a post directly to you in response to your post re: The American Spirit. To put it kindly, it would be mild to say that he would be diametrically opposed to everything you have probably built your adult life around. Rarely do you have the oppurtunity to see such national self-loathing. According to him, America is the greatest terrorist nation the world has ever seen. Our military power extends to over 140 nations, even greater infuence than the Romans at the height of their power. In Mr. day-o's world, the only 9/11 that is of significance is that that is the day the U.S. Government installed Pinochet as head of the Chilean Government. But after approximately 30-45 minutes on the board, it disappeared. I'm extraordinarily confused by this. I can't imagine who would have removed it.
