I'm extremely proud to be an American. I am not the government. I didn't even vote for this adminstration. I love our independent spirits and our history and heritage -- and our folk traditions and music! I love our little towns, and the Mom and Pop stores (which are, unfortunately, disappearing), and the back roads, and our neighborliness (and I'm not even John Wayne!) And our music -- did I say that?

Sorry, it's too late at night for me to get, tit for tat, into the whole political discussion (I've had a hard day on another forum, defending CLINTON, if you can believe that!) (Boy, his enemies sure never let up, do they? Felt like I was picking burrs off me every time I logged on!) Maybe I will tomorrow. Or maybe, as somebody said, this is a troll.

Right now, I'm watching "Crossfire," one of the programs we have where everybody is allowed to say what they think.
