Re: Fw: [GreenYes] Fw: A TRIBUTE TO THE UNITED STATES

C. William and green yes list,

I think you should know that the tribute you posted was written by Gordon
Sinclair in 1973 at a time of great anti american sentiment.  Please follow
this link.

Its unfortunate that indiscriminate things are passed along the internet and we
take them to be true at face value.  Just like the Nostradamus prognostications
that I heard a TV news reporter spewing yesterday....they were bastardizations
and adaptations of what Nostradamus had written spun for the relevance of the
situation to offer proof and support to their point.

While the messagefrom the Canadian newspaper is a strong one, its more relevant
within the context of the Viet Nam War for which it was written.

Here is the link (if this does not happen to post to the Green Yes board,
please post it on my behalf.)

Thanks.
