    I think you are wrong on that Kukri, it is very much historic and most honourable. Quite brilliant.

    Most if not all American non-whites probably feel this is a very big deal. :)

    Edit: Give me a freakin break guys! This is history. This is stuff minorities in this country have wanted and hoped for for three centuries. Getting a President of your race is no big deal if you're a white guy. Let people enjoy it. ;)

    I take your point, and appreciate your enthusiasm. After all these years, do you not recognize american understatement? I know you haven't seen it very much here in the backroom, but believe me, it is prevalent in all communities here: black, white, brown; rich, poor; privileged, oppressed: it's just not polite to brag too hard.

    Unless you're Texan. :wink :
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
