You're welcome. My uncle emailed it to me. I never saw it before and I thought it was nice.

Great link, thanks.

Also, for you John Wayne fans, here's a link to a pile of trivia and little-known info on him:

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Great post, Thank you.

That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

"It's not always being fast or even accurate that counts, it's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger-and I won't."
spoken by John Wayne's character, J.B. Books, in his last film, The Shootist

Forgot to post on previous thread.

It's too bad he didn't live to run for President.
