For the welcome to DU. You are exactly right--we have no secrets. Let me tell you, the world/our country is a VERY different place than I would ever have imagined back in 1956, when I got my high school diploma. And I'm not talking about that walk on the moon, a truly amazing and inspirational event. Then Viet Nam happened...well, that's all in the past, of course. My fear now is that being active on DU might elicit a knock on the door from Big Brother's crowd. No secrets, indeed. I hope your buddy with liver problems is doing better. Awhile back, it would have been hard to believe his life insurance would be cancelled...but then, they are betting that we live while we bet with each premium they're going to be wrong.

Crazy world indeed. Keep the faith!
