Yes, absolutely your compliments are most appreciated and I’m happy that we were able to have a civil open debate over what is unquestionably, at least to me, a very pressing issue in this country and the world at this time.

I personally would like to thank Willie for having brought the issue to an off topic post where it could be aired in public for I’m sure the NSA issue and its involvement in this country’s history is very dear to him as a concerned patriotic American.

I’ve always liked Willie. Over the many years here I find that he’s self assured with a quiet demeanor…he comes off as a guy that’s been around, has had his share of hardships and keeps moving on. I can see that in him from all the way back here. I come from the rough, tough and tumble ghetto neighborhoods of Brooklyn New York born and raised. And I have a sense that there’s no one I would trust more guarding my back than him.

Of course, there’s no telling who would stumble upon this thread and take issue with all.
