That's how we got to be the most culturally, economically and militarily influential nation in the history of the planet, and why half the rest of the world is all but breaking down the figurative doors in their determination to come here.

Which is the second question? To me it looks like "... to the nearest 10%?" But I suppose you mean "And what portion of Americans does the American right-wing represent?" I think some actual number would be far more useful. Or is that a personal observation, that they give YOU the impression they speak for those who cringe at what they say? -- ************* DAVE HATUNEN (hatunen(a)cox.net) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |
