Hi, So....sorry.........but thought it was a nice break in the ice. Sorry you are offended, I don't want to offend anyone. Personally, I have only been on this list for a week. I have no interests in Canada or Alberta. I am an Albertan and the only reason I am on the list is because of the books I was able to borrow and hopefully help others find missing rellies. Once I am done with all the (over 100) lookups I will unsub....until yet another time, I come across something that may assist others. Guess this list isn't as liberal as the others I am on.....sorry did not know that. And by the way.....I didn't originate this message, but still think the humor is much needed at this time. My opinion.

Dear Elaine and others, I sub to the Alberta list and many others and have seen this "joke' and many similar in the past month. While it may be "off topic' I see it a symptomatic of the underlying uneasiness we are all trying to cope with these days. As someone once say if you can't say something nice about what you just read press the delete key! We all have enough pain to deal with these days without being overly sensitive to a few words. God Bless Canada and America and all who read this.(even if the just hit the delete key!) Remember Canadians died at the WTC too.
