Getting a bit testy Greg? Well, that's your right, I guess. Most of the postings on the Mudcat are pretty civil (one to another) but there are exceptions of course.

I shall do the research as I promised Kendall.

In my opinion you are drawing a rather thin line when you differentiate between government and country, as I believe Kennedy meant it to be. I fail to see how the country can do something for someone (like provide food, drink, sustence, medical care, etc.) without it being dispensed by the government.

If you feel that my remarks, comments, statements of opinion have been patronizing, I have not intended them to be. I think it about strange that after over a year of posting on the Mudcat, you are the first to point this out to me.

Best,
