I'm curious what you mean by "civilized", Carl.  You Limousine Liberals
have a different definition than I do, I think.  I find America to be very
UNcivilized.  It's a country that essentially requires you to be born and
won't let you die, but refuses to do anything to assist you in living while
you're here.  There are certainly more uncivilized places than America, but
I can easily name a dozen countries that are far more civilized.

Interesting mini-discussion we've had, by the way.  Thanks again for all
responses.

John
