HI Paul! I was not offended, and I agree totally, I would be defensive too. Nothing upsets me more than those who rant and rave and protest against the war. I would love to send all of them over to one of the middle eastern countries for a while to experience the wrongs going on and see how long it is before they beg to come back home and scream for blood. More than anything, I am just jealous I never got your Canadian collection before someone else did!!
