I just received the following and wanted to share it with y'all... An American... An American is English, French, Italian, Irish, German, Spanish,Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be Mexican,African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Australian, Iranian, Asian, Arab, Pakistani or Afghan. An American may also be a Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans. An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, Buddhist, or An American is from the most prosperous land in the history of the world. The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence, which recognizes the God given right of each man and woman to the pursuit of happiness. An American is generous. Americans have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need. When Afghanistan was overrun by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country. As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other nation to the poor in Afghanistan. The best products, the best books, the best music, the best food, the best athletes. Americans welcome the best, but they also welcome the least. The national symbol of America welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built America. Some of them were working in the Twin Towers in the morning of September 11, earning a better life for their families. [I've been told that the people in the Towers were from at least 30, and maybe many more, other countries, cultures, and first languages, including those that aided and abetted the terrorists.] So you can try to kill an American if you must. Hitler did. So did General Tojo, and Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tung, and every bloodthirsty tyrant in the history of the world. But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself. Because Americans are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American. So look around you. You may find more Americans in your land than you thought were there. One day they will rise up and overthrow the old, ignorant, tired tyrants that trouble too many lands. Then those lands, too, will join the community of free and prosperous nations. And America GOD BLESS OUR WONDERFUL NATION Sincerely, Jay |

quote: Part of the problem with America is that alot of groups want to be XXXXXX-American's. (xxx-fill in your ethnicity) They want all the privileges of being an AMERICAN but, want all the separation into their own XXXXXX-American group. True peace will only be realized once all just view themselves as AMERICAN'S......... (crazy rantings from a German/Norwegian/Swiss-American ------------------ Driving a car is just transportation, |

I think it makes more sense when you look at it this way, I`am not Irish American.... So there are no African Americans or Euro Americans only Americans with African descent or Americans with Euro descent. ------------------ |

quote: Does it matter where anyone really descended from? Most african-americans have never set foot on that continent (much less know if that is were they truly have descended from). I have never been to German, Norway, or Switzerland. Sure I have great-great-relatives from each but, who cares and why do I need to inform people? Remember the adage, "Divide and concure"? By compartmentalizing America, that is what they are doing. For the record though, Trey This message has been edited by YellowFever on 08-23-2002 at 03:00 PM |

Shouldn't this be in the off topic area? I'm as American as the next guy but I fail to see what this has to do with a Prowler or how it is "Prowler Related". This message has been edited by Larry Lord on 08-23-2002 at 07:55 PM |

I Am Your Worst Nightmare. I am a BAD American. I am George Carlin. I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some mid level governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican! I think that being a student doesn't give you any more enlightenment than working at Blockbuster. In fact, if your parents are footing the bill to put your pansy a** through 4 years plus, of college, you haven't begun to be enlightened. |
