Marty, why surface to respond when JAPOV says he does not care where you live?

When your pet Woodpile is seeking attention you are not willing to give, ignore it.

Pot or booze. Could be both, either, neither, something else...nothing at all
All on his own he is aiming for just one more point of view in discussions (AKA post count) with himself
My take he is like the radio talk show host stirring up listeners to call in
Sometimes entertaining (most times with his music), sometimes frustratingly thinking too much, sometimes too little
But damn he can write good songs and he rocks.

You may find this interesting... wink

One of the most beautiful things written during the American Founding period is George Washington’s 1790 Letter to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island. Washington had visited Newport in August of that year, and shortly after his visit, one of the leaders of the Jewish community sent Washington a letter thanking him and congratulating him on his conduct as president.

Washington responded, in part:

The Citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for having given to mankind examples of an enlarged and liberal policy: a policy worthy of imitation. All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship. It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights. For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection, should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support. . . . May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid. May the father of all mercies scatter light and not darkness in our paths, and make us all in our several vocations useful here, and in his own due time and way everlastingly happy.
