Will do Jerry! But I'm a little too old to be surprised by anything our government does. I got here just after Pearl Harbor, and found out later on that we knew in advance it was going to happen. Then there was Viet Nam. The longest running war we've been involved in so far. It's a good thing we weren't fighting cavemen. The war would probably still be going on today.
In the world of big business, there was the Alaska Pipeline. They got us to pay for it without profiting from it. And while we're on the subject of oil, what about the Exxon fiasco? The latest one really pissed me off. 9-11. Duh! Isn't that our national emergency phone number? Four commercial jets hijacked the same morning, and you don't think it deserves sending up a few fighter jets to see what's going on? No! I don't think there's too much they can do that will surprise me. Look at it this way. If they could lie to the Indians, they could lie to us.
