"America" isn't an entity that has one single coherent political view with which one can decide to disagree. There are about 300 million different politicial views in this country. Many of them are bound to fall on either side of yours. I noticed the other day that a poll was run in various middle eastern countries asking their views of America. To no one's great suprise, the overwhelming majority view was unfavorable. However, I was shocked to see that there was always at least a %20 favorable rating. While far from a majority, that's a significant portion of the populace. It shows that you can't really tar a whole country with having a single political view. There's diversity everywhere you look. -- T.E.D. Home - mailto:dennison@telepath.com (Yahoo: Ted_Dennison) Homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html
