Lindy, picking apart SDAI's comments (woo hoo.....day off, pick on Sad Eye)
>"Until there is a world body whose government and principles exceed the United States - I am very content to be a US citizen."

Hmmm.......are you sure you're not on the US payroll somewhere, eh?
Not that there's anything wrong with being a patriotic American.
Everyone is trying to survive, every country, every human.
YOUR principles right now are very much aligned with GWB.
He's a radical in my opinion.
I can't quite figure out WHERE you're getting all this neo-conservative, testosterone inhibited Ari Fleisher look-alike stuff from unless you're trying to fool someone.....or , heaven forbid....keep them off you're back!
;~)

>To be a citizen of this world is like saying one is leaning tyrannical or socialistic, with huge hypocritical and manipulative tendencies - I'll pass thanks.

Wow! WHAT think tank do YOU belong to??
I'd get out (don't renew your contract NO MATTER WHAT THEY PAY YOU!).
One can just LIVE.
You know, pay your bills, take a deep breath......feed your children.
Relax, enjoy the sunsets........travel, invest, etc....
(Wouldn't invest in any ENRON or WorldCom stuff though).
Thinking MATERIALLY as a form of SECURITY is NOT THE ANSWER.

Find a mantra.
Start humming.
Relax.
Relax............there now.
Sun is setting.
All is well........bills are paid.........kids are smiling.
There is NO WAR on this planet.
