I am going to vent for a while here, =
and seeing as
I am an American, I have the freedom of speech. You can choose not to =
read this
and delete it, that is your right.
All I really want to say is that even =
on the list
you can pick up on what's wrong with America. You have people bitching =
because
other people are trying to sell things here. WAKE UP! America is a =
capitalist
country. This is one of the reasons we were targeted. We are based on =
the fact
that people will buy what they want . If the price isn't to your liking, =
you
don't have to buy it. And you know what, if you don't like the product =
or how
they are trying to sell it, you don't have to buy it. In fact, as I =
mentioned
earlier, you don't even have to read their words. Just delete the damn =
thing.
People on the list make it very obvious =
when their
e-mail contains something for sale (FS). If this offends you, delete it. =
You
have that right. Isn't free speech grand. Not only can you say anything, =
but you
can choose not to listen.
This brings me to another point. People =
are
complaining about someone's post yesterday. I didn't read the whole =
thing, I
just deleted it. If I find something offensive, I don't read
it. I get to =
choose
what I read.
Now, I also understand that if =
something offends
me, I also have the right to dispute their point. That is a great thing. =
Enough about that; here is a story I =
want to
tell.
My wife belongs to a board on the web. =
A person on
the board asked what nationality people were. There were many answers.
Swedish-American, African-American, German -American, Polish-American,
Italian-American, ... Then one person wrote in and said, " I am =
Canadian.
I noticed that nobody put that they were just plain American. Are you =
not proud
of the country you live in?"
It makes you think. I am American. I =
would hope,
that through all the grief, pain, anger and sorrow =
of yesterdays
events, that we as a nation can come together and just be Americans. We =
are a
melting pot. I think that as a symbol of unity, everyone on this list in =
America
should be flying an American flag. Remember, there is strength in unity. =
God
bless America!
Peace out,
Peder
