You've penned a lot of truths here; it's a disgrace what is happening to America; I hate my country looking so violent but, sometimes, I think D.C. provokes it just to see how people will react. Anyway, well done.

You are so right, Jan. But that is the sad state of disunion on this side of the ocean...
