that I love America...with its warts and all. This is the land that I grew up in and there is no more beautiful and varied land in the world, as far as I'm concerned. Can't say I always agree with what the government does, but then, what population EVER agrees with everything their own government does??

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
