Thank you Mike.  

This is a clarification and the absolute last
thing I have to say on the matter:

Let me tell you why I love the Silver List.  It is .
a place I can express my views (or read others) 
without being called a health nut, or just a nut, etc.
This is a prejudice we have probably all faced 
because we don't just accept.  We challenge 
and search for truth.  In this place even people 
with opposing views in life can share a discourse
that might not happen face to face.

I commented because "crash landing" offended me
on several levels.  Some people understood, some
over analyzed, some objected to my taking offense. 

If you were walking your little girl to school and a 
man was urinating on a tree in front of your door. 
Offensive?  You go to church on Sunday morning 
and a Stripper is doing her act in the back pew.  
Offensive?

My point?  There is a time and place for every
thing-even racist views.  

I don't go to Hate Sites and demand they stop their
racist statements.  Since I don't want to be subjected
to their views I don't go to their site.  

I do come to the Silver List because I like what is
being said and I don't want that to change.  .  

    
Gladys


P.S.  Calling ONLY Black or African American people 
"colored" is just as offensive as "darkie" or "coon".  No 
one is colorless, WE are therefore ALL colored. 

P.P.S.  Thank you to all who prayed for my son, that
was also off-topic, but an emergency.  It all ended well
and he is OK.  Prayer works.  If anyone ever needs me
to return the favor--just e-mail me privately.
