So have others on this forum.
I also resent your Not the Americans I know. And love.
As I said in a previous post, if I can somehow go to either or both conference(s) this year, I will, and not out of any loyalty to one "camp" or another.
Cool it, Anna. You've made your point.

Well said, Cathy. Thank you for coming out against these broad slurs that do no one any good.
We happen to live in a capitalist system. It has its warts but we work with it and criticize it when it's blatantly unfair. Competition is, in most things, the way of life in the West, but you wouldn't know it from this attitude of "No competition is allowed in my world, and if I see any I will scream bloody murder! And this will not stop till my view is seen as the right view!"
