Just now read Adams post #11, from January 15; and I certainly agree with him. I, too, am reluctant to come on this forum as it seems Americans or the USA are attacked or insulted, over and over. After a while, it really becomes aggravating.
I try very hard to be respectful of other cultures, backgrounds, experiences, beliefs and comments or statements. It is very refreshing to see others do the same. There are lots of forums out there; no need for me to follow one when it becomes unenjoyable.
