You said it Max. Oz's snipes come off as Anti American,
because he is.

I work with a teacher who was a student and on the campus when the shooting
started. I've seen a pic of him hiding behind a Volkswagen during the
attack. Every year he does a seminar on "what it was like."
But of course, these are kids who don't believe the moon landings were real,
or genocide, or WWII for that matter. They think nothing happened before
they were born.
Amazing, really.

What freedom...the one that has you looking over your
shoulder when
walking at night...or the one that has you looking
around
when a car
backfires?

I don't do any of those things.
I don't know anybody that does.
Do you do those things.
Perhaps Jon does.

The rest of the world gets a rather distorted,
over-dramatized view of
America's gun issues. Oz must think we lurk in shadows,
holding our
defense weapons in front of our bodies, constantly wary
of attackers.
That only happens in paintball arcades, to the best of
my knowledge.

Max, I think you need to come over here and see just how different our
lives are.

I doubt that you would find a single hotel concierge who would tell
you that it wasn't safe to walk anywhere in our city at night..even
our Hyde Park or Botanical Gardens.

I have been asked a number of times as I walked out of US hotels where
I was going and had suggestions about which areas I should not venture
into.

Come over...you will be enlightened

Oz,
Come to Atlantic City.
No need to worry about sharks and stingrays.
We inject them with random leftover bits from NY hypodermics.
Calms them right down.

Seriously though, there's a lot of anger here in the US.
Can't you feel it in ASA?
We don't take any ****!
Have a great day motherf***er! ;o)

They base their opinions of us on what Hollywood presents...

That was almost 40 years ago....and hasn't been repeated...

Whistler I can see, but why bother going south? Our snow is better! ;-)

Which Chicago riots were those?? 1961 Democratic National Convention?? If
that's what you're referring to, only the cops had guns.

You should be. The way colleges charge for credit hours these days is
highway robbery. g
