I don't care for our "super power," ways. Unless it is always for the good of all . . . which it is not always. I guess I am a rambling here oh . . I shall just send this off much love Marianne Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2013 15:49:54 -0500 From: Phyliss S Ward Subject: Re: (NJC) Canada and the US (was Lyrics) As an American, I too have problems with the American "best" thing. Why? What happened to equality? However, I did feel a bit offended being referred to as "scary" or "violent" or "religious extremist" en masse. Some Americans may be. I am not. Neither are any of my friends and family (ok, a few are religious extremists) I can think of. Let's not stereotype. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2013 #144 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list, sendtojoni@smoe.org.
