“However, I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me. We are all created by the Almighty and like Him, I love all of humanity. We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other.”

What compelled your family to leave England and come to the US?
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Wasn't England in the depths of it's socialistic experiment, then?

45 years ago I was sitting in front of a black and white TV, watching something like Gilligans Island or Brady Bunch.  ::laughonfloor::

I was born with a birth defect, hypopituitarism. I was born with a dysfunctional pituitary gland. One of the hormones it gives out is IGH, aka Insulin Growth Hormone. UK was a little behind on medical technology, back then, so they(St Ormond's Children Hospital) referred us to John Hopkins. Also my father was a electrical engineer and there were more opportunities in America for him. So here we are.

It pains me to see what has become of Britain (not that we aren't heading down the drain too). I've never set foot there, closest I've been is seeing Scotland from 35,000 feet, but it's where just about all my ancestors came from and there's a cultural kinship. But now Britain is becoming Britainistan and we're becoming Mexifornia.
