Wow - the rebuttals! I was looking forward to the responses and I surely got them. Thank you.

I still believe our America is the best nation in the world. I do care...about the sensitive concerns of some of my critics; the thoughtful evaluations, the innocent optimism, the unfulfilled dreams and the total lost logic of others.

What a great country where we still have the freedom to voice our heartfelt beliefs not whispered behind closed doors but publicly.

Yes, America is the best nation in the world.
