Hi Platt
how can stating that we should not judge other cultures be possibly
construed as arrogant!!!!
And what rights are you talking about , the right to bear arms, the right to
kill intruders, or maybe the right to attack anyone who dares to suggest
that america is totally screwed up!!!!!!!
Or maybe you mean the right to ignore the pleas of the rest of humanity, and
carry on polluting the planet, as if it already belonged to you alone, or
maybe you mean the right to tamper with other goverments policies to serve
your own countries economic interests, or just maybe you mean the right to
try and hook the largest population on earth into smoking cigarettes which
you know will kill them in a few years....
am I getting through to you....
