I have no idea, Kathy, but it illustrates a salient truth of today's American society: The common working stiffs in our nation are Patriots, they love America and would sacrifice everything for Freedom, and they stand on a much higher moral plane than that inhabited by our elected politicians.
God Bless them!

Watching ticks die is a good thing...they are good for nothing!
