I addressed the distinct matter that you replied to and dealt with the materials you linked to that pertained to that distinct matter. Sorry if that hurt your feelings.
No, you did not hurt my feelings.
A Canal Zonian is unique. No one, I mean no one, can understand how we lived and what we had to live through every time the congresscrooks stuck their noses in a perfect life here in the Canal Zone which benefited the United States. The Panama Canal, as it ran, never cost the U.S. taxpayers a dime. But may I clarify this point. Huge projects like building a huge bridge over the Canal did cost U.S. taxpayers. These huge projects had to be approved by the U.S. Congresscrooks. The Canal budget consisted of many, many things, but to build a zillion dollar bridge was not in our budget.
I would have answered you much, much sooner, but one of my kitty cats walked all over my keyboard and erased everything I had for you.
Regards.
