And by the way, it's acceptable to use the term "black." I was admonished by a couple of my black friends for using the term "African American," which they didn't care for at all. They consider themselves black Americans. (Though I'm sure there are those who prefer the term African American). |

And I've had the same conversation with my black friends. Some prefer "black" others "African-American". But all of them seem to agree that neither term is offensive. I still remember some of my first run-ins with the unique lingo and culture...one of my black friends introduced a bunch of guys to me as her "brothers" and I politely said something like "wow, you have a big family". To which she howled with laughter and told me that they weren't her siblings but her friends. lol. ![]() ![]() -sula |

2. Yes, he was a relatively bad actor (in my opinion)...but not any worse than Bill Paxton. ![]() 3. Yes, Bedtime for Bonzo is his most famous film. -Spiral Suitcase, Republican. |

[/QUOTE] I believe the main job is to be able to make a decision, Excellent presidents surround themselves with competent and intelligent advisors who give them all sides of issues, and fill them in on everything.. pros and cons.. then Make Decisions. That is what W. is so good at, He is able to make decisions, and he makes them from what he believes deep down which is the key.
