1. my posts were not hostile, contrary maybe.
My goal was to make you think over and not use only a single sided view on the thnigs.
2. Thanks for the name "teutonic" If you have read my posts you may have discovered that I am hald Swedish and half Jewish. But our family lived here for some 200 years (except 1933-45). Do you really think I would argue like one of those simple minded "Neo Nazis" ?
3. I travelled the US for many times and I was frustrated how mass media handeled with some events in history on whom I had a better knowledge, because I was involved (f. e. high speed accident in Eschede /Germany in 1999). Some compaies only look to get more viers and more income from commerials and serious journalism is getting rarer and rarer.
If I would think like you I had to think after who my real friends are. "Shut up" is the your thaought of freedom of speech. If it is please read your constituion carfully, what you demand for yourself you have to allow others.
I knew that you were angy and upset, believe me I am upset too. 4 friends of us died at the WTC. But think twice and then act or talk.
I knew critisism may not welcome, but it is necesseary exsp. between "friends"
Sincerely
Steffen
