Terry,

  As much as I generally loathe wading into .debates, I feel I have to speak
up and agree with you, or at least your political stance. I've been arguing
all day, seemingly with the rest of my bit of America (backwater Michigan,
so one can imagine the general attitudes), and it's become tiresome. I too
am ashamed of my country, and I'll leave it at that.

(though in '01 the celebration was supposed to be a couple days later), so I
get the opportunity to feel a bit like you do now on an annual basis. I
don't mean to sound too harsh, but it feels a little selfish to complain
about a personal honor coinciding with large-scale tragedy.

going to say 'while you still have it', but being Québécois you don't have
that whole imminent-governmental-implosion thing going on :)

just my opinion,
-jeremiah-

PS- congratulations again. You do a great job with the site and deserve the
CSOTW.

So I was coming here to see if people were talking about the war and the first thing I noticed was this : I win this weeks Lego cool site of the week. *sigh* yipiii... :-( Don't get me wrong. It's an honour that I'm very happy about. I've worked (...) (21 years ago, 20-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
