Great post Cow, and something I am having a real hard understanding down here. Americans are so damn vendictive. They never forget (The Alamo!) what happened in the past nor apply that to the changes in the world. What Kerry said in support of the Viet Nam protest was right on the money at the time. But he is still being held to that 30 years later, even though times have changed dramatically. But what can you do about a country that still embraces a socument written over 220 years ago as being relevant in todays world (the second ammendment argument kills me). Americans need to learn to put the past aside and focus more on the now. The country would be much better off.

You might not feel that way if you were a Vietnam veteran.
Just a point.
BTW...the tear up the constitution and throw it away because it's 223 years old is a REAL good one.
