Now we have a president apologizing for our arrogance, Do we really need to? The Chancellor never apologized for the holocaust. This was an excellent truthful write. Vince

To use humans as toys abhors me Iolanda. The Ceausescu family were just as bad using woman for their own pleasure. There is no place on the planet for these evil people....:)

You have written a fine crystalline for Rick's contest. I can't see why this was not chosen to be among the winners.
