re: Please don't make me responsible for Scott!
I surely won't.
And I like most Americans that I know - most of our neighbours at our lake cabin are from the US and all are fine folks. I've also been on a number of training courses in the US and pretty much everyone I met was decent and reasonable. (almost all I talked to were anti-Bush)
I was just pointing out that Scott's insulting and insensitive comment is the kind of thing that gets attention and generates ill feelings.
