Feb 2012

and for your openness.

I find your post and VC's very interesting and actually they do sound a bit like the "ugly American".

I apologize for the delay...I've been sick, so even though your post has made me think (not sick!)

and has given me more to say, I'm afraid I'm having stomach troubles and haven't been able

to sit up long enough to type in my response.

Will get back to you...should be soon.

Thanks!..Whathehell
