Frank - Thank you so much for your input. I think the thing that bothered me the most is that a lady from Canada was belittling our president. What good is that doing her, except that she is expressing her opiniion. I f she lived here in the U.S., I would respect her opinion as I hope others respect mine. Thanks for writing. Best wishes, Jo Ann On Wed, 29 Oct 2003 16:06:00 -0500 Frankand Teri <[log in to unmask]> writes: > Jo Ann is right. People on this list so often miss the point.
