HI, Herc - I am so sorry it was such a hell of a day. That you survived it is a testament to your courage. =)

On a side note, I have to admit to being tired of the insults to America as well. We hear bad stories and policies about Australia, Canada, and every other country but I for one am not slamming other countries since I know every place has pros and cons including the United States - give it a rest already.
