Boycott Scotch

[Texan in Mexico]

Morning Mac,

I have been reading the responses over the past couple days and would like to tell you, you are not alone - I saw on CNN this morning that there is now a website www.boycottscotland .com that is promoting a general boycott of goods and services (including tourism).

I have to agree with MCS and the Admiral and the best course of action is to keep our perspective on this issue and humor is a pretty good way to do just that.

Having said that, I suggest we have gotten so PC over the past years that this type of thing happens - I doubt this would have happened during my grandfather's generation.

We forget sometimes that ours is a country at war.

Threadjack coming -

This will undoubtedly cause some copycat behavior, maybe Madoff can use this...

Back to your regulary scheduled programing.

I have now, thank you.

Seems clear to me, I hope one of their accountants did the math - if you divide the potential future revenues by the number of victims I would be interested to know the value they have placed on each American that died that day.

Looks like the Swiss blinked as well...

I don't want to start an argument here BUT, I get so sick and tired of being told that "We forget that were at war". It seems to me that as much as the wars have set this country back (human and financial wise) nobody can forget that were at war. Most likely the only person that is trying to forget that were at war is the guy that went running back to Crawford with his tail between his legs.
Hopefully we can get this thread back to some low brow humor.
