I do not think the talking funny, the clothes we wear or the houses we live in with all the material things would bother them as much as the condition our country is in.

So Helen, what condition is our country in? Do you think that they would be upset with today's politicans? The ones that voted and said one thing but as soon as things were no longer as popular turn around and yell that they were lied to and tricked? Or do you think that they would be upset with the Hollywood people who because when thier political choice lost started saying things like they were afraid that rape would now be legal (Cameron Diaz) or that they were afraid that one party would show up to their door with a gun to shoot them (Julia Stiles). Maybe the our ancestors would be very upset with the way that things are today. --- Helen <[email protected]> wrote: > I do not think the talking funny, the clothes we > wear or the houses we live > in with all the material things would bother them as > much as the condition > our country is in. > > Helen > > -----Original Message----- > From: N & K Chestnut > [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Saturday, November 19, 2005 5:38 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [WILLIAMS] Meeting our Ancestors > > > What an interesting picture of our meeting with > our ancestors you have > painted.

A close look at our actual history, rather than a nostalgic memory of something that never was, would tell you that most of our ancestors lived during times when our country was in pretty dire straits. There's been scarcely a decade in our history that we were not at war, internally or externally. Our ancestors survived and thrived; so will we and so will our country. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Helen" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 19, 2005 11:04 PM Subject: RE: [WILLIAMS] Meeting our Ancestors >I do not think the talking funny, the clothes we wear or the houses we live > in with all the material things would bother them as much as the condition > our country is in. > > Helen > > -----Original Message----- > From: N & K Chestnut [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Saturday, November 19, 2005 5:38 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [WILLIAMS] Meeting our Ancestors > > > What an interesting picture of our meeting with our ancestors you have > painted.
