I was going to stay out of this *frey* but decided that my two cents might be worth at least three. All of us on this list come from different backgrounds and have different perspectives. Maybe to put down anothers idea of humor no matter how we may think is to ride our own moral high horse. I wonder sometimes how anyone can assume a complete understanding of another let alone understand why one country sees things one way and another differently. I am sure that just because we share a border with Canada that we do not entirely share the same viewpoints across the 3000 plus miles. As for Maryse's post, she made her own observation and has every right to make it. I would think that *here* among those of us who share so much it would be appreciated and taken in the spirit in which it was intended. Someone said recently, that the delete key is available to all of us equally. * seattle * Audrey friend of pwp Aussie John 49/42/38?
