I agree, John, that if they want you, they'll get you - read what N.
Machivelli said about
whether The Prince should be loved. And for sure, let's get `em when we
can.
I don't agree with the "suspicious people," though. I feel dishonored
that my country
picked up most all the Japanese during our recent unpleasantness with
them. Yeah,
keep a weary eye out. No, don't report everybody spitting on the
sidewalk!

Now, here we agree again. Our fear equals their win.
By the way, I am going flying on Wednesday. Better than watching
endless
repeats of a dark day on TV. Yes, I plan to avoid the TSR's du jour. And
I will call
Flight Service to know where they are. Any body else up to showing that
We The
People own the skys?
