I know that this is way off the normal discussion that is held here, and may be rather long.
I don't wish to offend anyone or start a aurgument with any of you. I am posting my regular handel and not some made up fake one. I work for a state goverment facility and we have been on lockdown since Tuesday. I have watched TV when possiable and have read a lot of things relating to the world events. It is around 4:20 am on Thursday morning.
I guess I must be getting tired and grouchy now, this morning one of our employees made some kind of a remark about how things were done in his country. I asked him what he meant by saying "HIS" country. He replied the name of the country that he was raised in.
I remembered that he took the oath to become an Americian citizen about 8 or 9 years ago.
I said "well now this is your country, not that other place". He replied that this is not his country nor would it ever be. I then asked him this question; "If the United States were to go to war with what you call your country whom would you fight for"? He replied the other place. That was when I lost all of it totally. I went off on him and told him; "If this is not your country you should just take your butt back to where you came from. I can't stand the likes of people like you living here under our protection". I am very proud to say that I served my country, and will glady do so again. I was raised by a wonderful set of parents and think that they taught each of their six sons to try to hate no one, and respect others thoughts and opinions.
I may have let my parents down in some ways over the years, BUT personally I have alway's had no use for draft dodgers or people claiming to be an American then burn our flag, let alone someone who has taken an oath to be an American citzen say something like he did.
It just seems very strange to me that some of these 3rd world countries and the people within them that we have helped in so many ways are the ones that really hate us.
Maybe it is time for us to wake up.
We should stop providing money, food, etc. to these countries once and for all. Just let us try to flood their countries with thousands or millions of our people and see how many are allowed on their soil. Please let us bless the families of the thousands of helpless victms, and all who lost their lives trying to help rescue them. Please if you are able, give blood, or offer your help in whatever way you can. Yes "I AM VERY VERY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN" Little Bubba

Pitfalls of Tractor Engine Rebuilds - by Chris Pratt. The first pop after you have put the machine together with your own hands is exciting and pleasing. The whole experience can be marred if one moves too fast and makes too many assumptions that they can just use "as is" some parts they should be closely scrutinizing and possibly attended to. In such cases, rework makes what could have been a fun project turn into an irritant or even a nightmare. Minor Irritants To give you an example of an minor but irritating proble
