What about South America and Antarctica?

I've had the good fortune to meet people through sales or questions from western and eastern Asia, western and eastern Europe, Africa, Australia, Oceania and of course North America. I simply find it amazing to have made friends in countries that fifteen years ago I feared or distrusted. I guess it shows it's our governments that create the isolation, not the people. I have found people all over the world are good and we all share a common soul. But where is South America? What about the poor lonely scientists in Antarctica, do they not share our interest in audio?
It would be great to hear from all seven continents and Oceania. What a great world and time we live in! I pray that we recognize how lucky we are and find a way to dissolve the last remaining hate in the world.

Gthrush1, if you are ready to stand by your convictions, send your automobile, stereo, computer and other energy using non-necessities to me. That way your conscience will be clear.

I haven't forgotten the people in New York, nor has George W.

These were civilians going about their daily lives doing what was expected of them. A preemptive defense response is absolutely called for in my mind, and much preferable to waiting until nuclear and additional bio attacks are brought to our homes.

Jadem6, your idea is right on, most people are decent and loving. Sorry to bring your topic to this point. It was not me that began twisting the subject.

Sorry too that I am still reactive and angry about 9-11 and the biological attacks on the United States.

Please don't joke about what happened on Sept 11th.

I worked on the 95 floor of Building 1 for Marsh. (The one with the antennae). I still really miss my freinds and can not believe the buildings fell.

Jeff Robinson was my best freind, work-mate, high-school acquaintence, and the person who turned me on to AudioGon, Audible Illusions, and Rega. Many of you probably read his posts or had dealings with him.

I had bought speakers he rebuilt only weeks before.

I joke about everything but I can't joke about that day.

The point was and still is that the Internet gives us all the opportunity to realize how small this planet is. If the hate and anger displayed above is the only message you can muster, than God save us all. It's the comments above that will continue the distrust and anger towards America. My reason for the thread was not to discuss politics and how to fight terrorists, it was to share an observation of how we have a common interest with people from all areas of the world. I was also hoping to hear from South America and Antarctica. I also had no intent of a hand holding singing songs type thread. Maybe your anger and hate could be better served over at Audio Asylum.
