Val,

I thank you sincerely for your words of high praise.

I am humbled and honored by what you said to Henry. Unfortunately, he will not hear, or heed, until it is too late, and it will become HIS right to free speech which he'll end up losing. And then he'll wonder why, and blame the liberals.

He, and so many others, are hopelessly lost to us. They must have been asleep during "U.S. History" when the class was studying the American Revolution and the U.S. Constitution, which freed us from the tyranny and totalitarianist government of Great Britain.

If they have their way we are all doomed to relive the tyranny that we freed ourselves from over 200 years ago. They don't even see that they are contradicting the very ideals they are trying to bring to Iraq at gunpoint.

It is indeed very sad, and very frightening.
