Jinx, Isn't the US generally considered to be the cradle of democracy? Linda. That was Greece. :wink: As Cohen sang: Democracy is coming to the USA... More specifically ATHENS , GREECE, Thank you very much... By the way, We don't have censorship or PG ratings here in Greece. :roll: And our children...
