Sad, sad sign of the times...

Living in the DC metro area... Made the last sentence that the best of all of them! Thanks

I'm one of those oddball guys who still salutes/puts his hand over his heart when the flag passes, knows how to fold the flag properly, knows the words to the national anthem, stands as veterans march past, and gets teary eyed whenever I hear of yet another young life being taken in Iraq.....

Same here. I'm accustomed to saluting the flag:)

and, nearly cynical enough for me... but i'm from the other side of the pond, so it's expected.

It is this very contempt and cynicism that brings down nations! Wars do not bring down nations. government does not bring down nations. the death of hope and the birth of contempt brings down nations! Hope will drive us upward and onward to better things no matter the circumstance while contempt and cynicism will bring us to the depths of hell! and you know what? We all have the choice! Our future depends not on our government or our neighbor, but on each and every one of us! Our attitudes shape our actions and our actions shape our future!
Many nations lay at the feet of contempt while our nation is still young and hasn't completely given in to contempt! We still have hope! Lets not whittle away at that hope any further !!

I am just happy that we still have freedom of speach...well some at least

If I misunderstood concerning WW2 then I apologize. It's just that I'm very VERY used to comments like "If it weren't for us you'd all be speaking german right now" And I've gotten pretty sick of them.

It seems I misunderstood the original poster though.



Sorry.

If it hadn't been for France, you'd still be ruled by Her Majesty. :p

Don't worry about it as I am certain it was an honest mistake, and it is likely that I didn't make myself clear!

Oh, my name is Mark and not Original Poster!;):D

Gotcha (Mark)
