dog,
You seem to have somewhat of a decent command of the English language. I am curious as to your story (without being to intrusive). Your country of origin, your current country of residence, etc. I am only assuming an individual as bright as yourself wasn't educated under a third world communist/socialist regime. You seem to have probably taken advatage of a capitalist system that afforded you the opportunity to make choices.

btw...you would probably be a most fascinating person to have a drink with. Please don't take everything to heart. My hatred for all things oppressive stops after 3 beers and a shot.
