Dont be sorry!

Foreigner can atleast speak broken English. Can American speak broken foreign language?

As a matter of fact, I speak broken Tagalog, broken Japanese, pidgin Korean, and and can generally make myself understood in Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Spanish, and French. Oh, yes, I'm also fluent in Aussie :-) Dave Merriman -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMVoK/8VrTvyYOzAZAQHrXAP/ZMOgx+VkqHXCQHBFXIdVVHzlCcJIo3L6 2LyqMnY0cJ5ZFD8mCNsBTTe2DAXFpN1WV03JFym/JIxAuL0TQuN0WKZ2HFSuk997 AZPo21whZbXVQlRGrr6JjiR8p2nqHMMBpNC2bfr2r/rny7UmnGGp8C1e6crPtrQF PiyDbd20zbM= =Swae -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------- "Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys."
