"I understand how the Terry event is integral in the lives of southwestern people and would therefore guide their level of angst,"

I think the above comment sums up your smartassed attitude. It illustrates the general frivolity with which you seem to take things like the death of an apparently decent and productive man and the general decline of peacekeeping in this country. To summarize the post I deleted because I realized afterwards you were talking about a completely different thread than this one...it also illustrates how it is rich you worrying about somebody messing up your own thread about beautiful Carolina sunsets.
