Steve,<br><br>Your observations may be true, but that comment comes from an email Tom sent me about a week ago about how rude the American's were, etc. I was only in response to that telling my experience. The point being, for Tom to try to convince me, which he did ernestly, that the American's are the rudest people in the world, and that every thinks that makes me wonder what his intent was?<br><br>The point being there are rude people and nice people in all parts of the world. I grew up where people from Michigan, NY, NJ,<br>(being from Florida) where there was both rude and very nice people, and yes even some Canadians. I just don't see what that has to do with the war? His point to me was that we are hated around the world because we are so rude!!<br><br>So, in closing, why do people do everything they can to come here if we are such a motley crew? <br><br>Well, as I said I am sincerely kind to all not because they are of the same religious affections as myself, or simply because they are of the same political mind, but rather because I have a Saviour who died for the souls of men. I would never knowingly be rude to anyone. But this isn't really about rudeness is it? It is about hating a man who sees a PEOPLE who need to be free.<br><br>God bless you all
