I recently had a job forman sum things up pretty well. He said, The world is like a tree full of monkeys, the ones at the top of the tree look down and see nothing but smiling faces looking up to them. The monkeys at the bottom all look up and see nothing but assholes.
I don't know if it's right but, it seems so.

DFM - you are a funny dude and you play mean chess too!
I think the reason most people don't like Americans is because of their attitude. They tend to be very loud and brash, and that sometimes rubs people up the wrong way. They don't mean to upset people, it's just they way they are.
Now I personally do not dislike any particular race of people but rather I dislike certain individuals. I'm sure George Bush is a nice bloke but he is wrongly advised at times.
So that's my slant on things and now it's time to go to play the only war game that should be allowed - CHESS. 😀
