thanks, maggie, for indicating that you would not mind going..(again, mmm).. to participate in the citizenship process...fortunately, there never is an end to that.....i sometimes am excited and possibly disgusted when individuals, sometimes with a loud mouth, attempt with whatever dubious means at their disposal to opt out of such duties as these (i doubt they are doing themselves or anyone a favour by relegating themselves to the back corners)...many today speak of " rights " and " privileges," --- the " right " or " privilege " to-do- this-or-that, is a common homily often discussed --- yet when one has the opportunity to actually participate (albeit, in this case called-upon rather than initiating- the -process), many i hear of do their uttermost to remain at a distance, to attempt to sever responsibility, all the while complaining loudly that they should bear the burden of citizenship, and complaining even more loudly when those responsibilities and duties are not returned to them (wwhhaaattt..??????as favours??!!??)......kudos to you, maggie.
p.s. as you have been, one of my family has been chosen twice within a recent period....on different days, we all helped her pack her own lunch.....the rest was up to her......................
....darn that cuban rum...flight was too long getting
