Thank you, Barry, for posting this information. And Gracie, I agree wholeheartedly with your post. Too many Americans would rather keep their heads in the sand or play the "blame game" than face reality. Our reality is NOW. We can't do anything about the past, except possibly learn from it, but by dwelling on it instead of being proactive could quite possibly get us all killed in the end. I for one am more concerned about the possible downfall of this great nation and the demise of us all than what happened hundreds of years ago. Playing the blame game does nothing but cause destruction in and of itself. One current example (albeit on a different level than this discussion) is what has happened over the past couple of decades where many parents would rather blame everyone else for their child's behavior problems than to deal with it themselves. This type of strategy does nothing but take the focus off of the real problem. IMHO, I don't think we can afford to do that.
