Now, what U say, Papasan? I done see flags on cars everywhere and flag T shirts on everyone in the Malls. Don't that there mean their patriotic??

Lots a youngun' think Independece Day means a day to drink and party without no one tellin' not to! FREEDOM :-) Ask most people why they get a day off from work and they'll tell U they have no idea except it's a holiday.

Oh well..I think their hearts in right place. Just that U (no, I didn't say me!) are all getting to be the "old folks" to them..and the gap in priorities in life are widening.

A little time in a foreign country should be a requirement for all..makes U appreciate what U have in America.. Enuf.. Caroline
