06 november To Kill an AmericanWritten by an Australian Dentist....and too good to delete....
You probably missed it in the rush of news last week, but there was actually a report that someone in Pakistan had published in a newspaper an offer of a reward to anyone who killed an American, any American.
So an Australian dentist wrote an editorial the following day to let everyone know what an American is . So they would know when they found one. (Good one, mate!!!!)
"An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian, or Arab, or Pakistani or Afghan.
An American may also be a Comanche, Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans.
An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim. In fact, there are more Muslims in America than in Afghanistan. The only difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them chooses. An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God. An American lives in the most prosperous land in the history of the world. The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence, which recognizes the God given right of each person to the pursuit of happiness. An American is generous. Americans have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need, never asking a thing in return. When Afghanistan was over-run by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country! As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other nation, to the poor in Afghanistan. Americans welcome the best of everything... the best products, the best books, the best music, the best food, the best services. But they also welcome the least. The national symbol of America, The Statue of Liberty welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, and tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built America. Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September 11, 2001, earning a better life for their families. It's been told that the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 different countries, cultures, and first languages, including those that aided and abetted the terrorists.
So you can try to kill an American if you must. Hitler did. So did General Tojo, and Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tung, and other blood-thirsty tyrants in the world. But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself.
Because Americans are not a particular people from a particular place.They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American. 05 november MSN space新功能：计数器置顶 添加HTML module和置顶计数器的具体步骤如下： 1.登陆并编辑你的msn space； 2.在浏览器地址栏里显示的地址最后加上“ &powertoy=sandbox “，然后按回车； 3.等页面重新载入后，点击”Customize"标签（英文版，以下同）； 4.在Modules下拉菜单里应该可以看到PowerToy: Custom HTML项，点击添加，并保存。这样在edit状态下，就可以看到Custom HTML项了，可拖拉到你想放置的地方。 5.添加计数器：直接在Custom HTML项的html输入框里输入你的计数器的代码，保存就行了。可以选择加标题和是否要边框。 至此，计数器终于可以不用手动置顶了，只是现在编辑MSN space得在英文状态下，有些不爽，期待msn早日推出中文版的PowerToys。 终于找到在MSN SPACE添加天气预报模块的方法了 注销了原来的空间，重新注册了一个新的空间，在个性化设置里，终于看到天气预报的小工具了
（在重新注册MSN SPACE之前，必须先在hotmail或msn邮箱里，把地址和邮编改成美国的）
