Joe,

I hear what you're saying and I KNOW how you are feeling. I also think I
can feel a little of how they feel. (One of the reasons I like to twist
the needle,once in awhile)

The world is going GLOBAL. It is already past start. The Euro group are
aware of it and can't accept the fact that it isn't one of them that is
leading the reformation.

We were thrust into the role by the Marshall plan and the UN. Our
mentality is so different than theirs ( People governing themselves
rather people being governed by an elite group) We on the other hand are
doing a pretty ****ty job of showing the way.

The World is at a stage where it must be TUTORED. If not us; who then?

Joe, I do believe we better learn how to tutor all people and do it
right. Might is not right, as Iraq has proven.

Sports are fun and winning is the most fun but be good losers is part of
the game. Atlantic Cup Racing has given us a lesson in losing.

SO, my friend, let's remember we are all humans. We are All we have.
Let's enjoy one another. Competition is fun but it isn't a total, just
part of life. Friendly it is a game. Let it get to serious and it's a
WAR

Now, let me off this damn SOAP BOX. Lance whipped their ass:^)
