You know, I was looking ovver the roster and it became quite clear to me..With a very few exceptions....i'm older then all of you by many years..and as I sit here some thing come to mind....this is not aimed at anybody ..so please don't start saying I said he said..because that's not it.

I guess what I'm trying to say..is I came from a much different time and place then most of you...I still say yes sir and no sir..I open doors for people older then me and I'm not ashamed to shed a few tears when someone gets hurt.

I'm proud to live in a country where I can say what I believe and have that right just as anyone else here in this country can. I'm proud of being able to stand and say the Pledge of Allegence and sing the National Anthem...May fought and died to give me that God given right just as they died so you do not have to.

I'm proud of the fact that my mother and grandmother instilled in me the morals I have in my life today...to know the difference in right and wrong and to believe that somewhere buried..even deeply inside of each of us...is a spark of good...all you have to do is look for it.

But most of all..I'm thankful for people here like Don, Bryan, Darrell and Sandy..who under what had to be the hardest dicessions..still wanted in also instill in this board the hope and faith..that this world could and some day come full circle into a time when...we could live in brotherly love..with not hatred and bitterness..Gentleman..you have more courage among you then most men I know and I thank you for all you have done for us...

I suppose that I am to old th change anymore.......but i still believe that there is good in poeple of all races, creeds if given time can and will be able to work together..that they will realise in time that "THIS "..is all we have...to destroy it is in reality destroying ourselves..

Do with this post what ever you wish...call it old age creeping in..a senior moment or whatever you like...like I said ..i'm one of the older generation..who may also be pass her time but still looks to her youth for a place of peace and happiness...I've come home where I belong..and for whatever time I'm aloowed to remain..this is where I choose to be.

Don...many thanks for giving us a place to come and share without having to always look over our shoulders to keep explaining why we love the only BSG we know.
