Although I won't apologize for my opinions . . . I want to make an apology to anyone on the forum who I offended by my zealous defense of the US of A.

I should have realized that my rant on world politics which might be appropriate in a pub had no place on this forum. It could have caused serious discord on the forum.

I really do have warm regard for Canada our northern friends, the mother country England and the highest regard for Australia and New Zealand, among other countries of the world.
