I can think up a list of things why Americans should be proud of America.
We built this country from nothing, while fleeing oppression to do it and lots of people lost their life's in doing this. Not only in war, but also traveling here when it was deemed impossible. Now of course this is just one of many things. But this country needs to remember that we should not opress or impose our country's belief on others. But we do a damn good job helping other countries. All people and countries make mistakes. We are not perfect. But this could go on forever and I don't have the time. my 2 cents -Shawn Regan -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin Falloon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 2:22 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: The Anti Terrorism Act..
