Wow, Paul. I don't know how long you took to write this but you hit on so many good points. For an intial rant , it went well beyond bitching to practical things that celebrities and others forget. "Don't F*@ your mother" and certainly not outside the country. You embarrass yourself and others. I'm fighting to work through our problems, if you are out give up your American passport to someone who will not quit. Freedom ain't free, and these people owe the country an apology because they give up.
Thank you. Am saving this piece. Mark
