Someone has not been using their spellchecker correctly. My suspicion is that the word Peacekeeper has been inadvertently substituted for Piecekeeper. For it's our determined effort to keep all the key pieces of the world's resources for our own pockets, it's our duty to make sure THEY don't put them into their pockets. Ah, you call me cynical unpatriotic and dozens of other monikers while shaking your heads in disgust and dismay. OK, perhaps I am cynical. But I am not unpatriotic according to my own definitions. My heritage demands I question, I seek the truth, I stand up for what I believe in, I honor your rights to disagree, I speak the truth as I know it. And I think I see someone using spellchecker incorrectly hoping I will believe they mean only to be Peacekeepers. Hmm.... And how big a piece of the pie do we each get to keep? |

Kacy, this is a great "piece" of writing and one I'm glad to pick up. You show a deep fervor in that which you believe in, like the Constitution! Well done! Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

My humble thanks to you, Ken, for your reply. My great great great great(? not sure how many greats) grandfather or uncle, not sure which...Matthew Thornton, signed the Declaration of Independence. I think I've been following some of his footsteps. |

"I question, I seek the truth, I stand up for what I believe in, I honor your rights to disagree, I speak the truth as I know it." The very things your ancestor and his cohorts (What would THEY think of us now?) prescribed for us. |

Ringo! LOL. Your SW program is dysfunctional. Ed, I'm not sure what any of them would say or do these days, but I'm positive one Matthew Thornton would honor and defend my rights to speak my mind. |
