Thanks for...I should have commented WAY before now. Thanks for reading, guys! Loving the link, Al. Neil Diamond is unforgettable. Haven't heard much from him, but I like the brass.<br /><br />And thanks for the quotes, Ranter. That is a danger to watch out for. I need to pay more attention to it myself.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740611327082314715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4862619148581399287.post-21088535638053040302011-03-07T01:50:29.210-06:002011-03-07T01:50:29.210-06:00As the grandson of immigrants from Italia:

I am first and foremost a Christian - that is who I am. It defines me. Not so with being an American. That has happened by chance. From the Catechism (#2240): "[Christians] reside in their own nations, but as resident aliens. They participate in all things as citizens and endure all things as foreigners. . . .
