U.S. were respected by most, and feared by the rest. Unfortunately, we have
become a softer, gentler, warm and fuzzy society steeped in P.C. BULLSHIT !
Our children are no longer taught history. Most of them have no clue what
happened on December 7, 1941. They have never heard of places like Seoul or
Saigon. They have no idea what took place between the years of 1861 and
1865. In other words, they have no idea of the meaning of the word
PATRIOTISM. Folks, I'm not just talking about HighSchool or College kids
here. I'm talking about 25 to 40 year old working adults, who have all the
answers, but don't know what the question is ! Do all of our young folks
fall into the category I just described ? No, but sadly most do.
"Freedom has a flavor that the protected never know." I fear our young
folks have been protected from the harsh reallity of what it takes to remain
Free, for too long !

Come now,Mr Clark is not going to contact anyone
personally, or show up at anyones home, so don't even
offer it.
I must commend this list for the civility everyone
generally exhibits.Only when everyone is on edge
because of a national tragedy have I seen this list
degenerate into name calling and saber rattling. (I'm
not talkin about the comments made about
terrorists,just responses to those making a post)
A certain other list has many problems with this sort
of response to stupid posts and incindiary comments,
and I don't want to see this list degenerate every
time some fool types out a comment intended to piss
someone off.
Just ignore fools, for they are not worthy of your
scorn.
Now if I thought someone was making an ass of
themselves in their posts, I certainly would not give
my address and phone number and say "come get some"
That is inviting more aggravation than the original
post could possibly have given.
End of subject.
Young and I know what happened between 1861-1865.

With all due respect, to slap an enemy with an open hand proves ones bravery
but does not get the job done. This is the time to put a fine edge on one's

Chris,
My name address & such is on the website.Pretty much public. And folks are
welcome to visit the shop, if they call first and I invite them..I just
figure some people need more help than others than finding me. Especially
when I WANT them to come visit.. But I have found that most that bluster,
hold a superior attitude and degrade others when they feel "safe" behind a
keyboard are yellow cowards face to face.

Hey Guys
John in NYC here. Yesterday was a helluva day. I am running in the local
city council race. We stopped on our way to give out cookies at a polling
place and could see the smoke billowing out of the WTC, about 10 miles away.
The smoke looked like dunderheads in the western horizon. In fact they are
still smoking. The haze protects us out in Queens from seeing the gap in the
skyline.
The elections in the whole state have been canceled until further notice.
But life goes on. Tomorrow the subways will be packed. I'll be stumping at
one. Getting on with ourselves is what we do.
My Democratic Club did have one casualty my friend Gabe's wife. She worked
at WTC, we don't know what floor, her company had many. Gabe's been in the
City, we haven't heard from him, there's no word on her.
Please keep us in your prayers, Gabe especially
Thanks
John

Members of the List,
I hate to say anything but I guess I will...First off I don't think there
is ANYONE in the WORLD who hasn't heard of this cowardly attack on the
innocent civilians of our great country! I don't think ANYONE on this list
is disinterested in this horrible chain of events nor do I think ANYONE on
this list disagrees that this happened because of America's past policies
dealing with this sort of thing...I may be wrong but I don't think I am. I
feel like a swift, vengeful counter-attack on those who we KNOW perpetrated
this is strongly called for! I am young (25) and do know and understand
patriotism...I am a Texan as well as an American. My grandfather fought so
that my father, my family and future family would be free from the threat of
the Nazi terror and I have many friends whom I think very highly of who have
fought in wars since to protect America from various other threats.
I understand our EARLY(both American and Texan) history and how we fought
as Americans and Texans to gain freedom from tyrants abroad as well as
tyrants from within(American Revolution, War of 1812, Texas Revolution and
the Mexican War). One of the things that makes America such a great nation
is our FREEDOM...and we have many freedoms that are non-existent elsewhere
in the world. ONE of our many freedoms is free speech(and here comes the
kicker)...that means that one may speak out an opinion that others may not
like! YES..I can say something that someone else may not like, BUT that
doesn't mean I can voice my opinion and then say...but if you don't like it
shut up cause that's the way it is! We ALL share these freedoms and we ALL
have the right to voice our opinions! Reread the qoute at the top of this
post...does this sound like the voice of a great, FREE country such as
America?! I don't know any involved in this immmature verbal bashing but
would expect that they could be a bit more civil about the whole matter. YES
we as Americans are experiencing something VERY tragic but that does NOT
give anyone the right to act or behave as they are on this list. No, I
haven't lost anyone in this tragedy, and no I'm not indifferent to what is
going on but I am trying to act CIVILIZED(a word that is being used alot
right now) and keep a cool head about myself. I would hope that everyone
here could do the same.
We as a group should have a special bond being that we are all interested
in the same things(obvious by our subscription to this list) and should as
some have said come together in light of recent happenings! I do honestly
apologize if I personally have offended any on this list with this post but
I tire of this immature bickering amongst people who share a love and vision
of the history of our great country...God be with those victims of this
tragedy and God bless America!

Subject: MtMan-List: A new time....a NEW Counrty
Gentleman.......
I submit:
We live in a ..New country, a ..New time......
We are no longer the free living, free thinking landed "patriots" that our
predecessors strove for and envisioned...
We are now influenced and moved by those global entities that would both
internally and externally control us with their collective and individual
will.
We cannot, we will, submit to their will !
We are a free people, in which liberty, freedom and justice WILL
prevail.....
If we seek to capture the past.......then let us bring it to the
forefront.....

1938 first printing.
