                                  It's amazing how small America is compared to other places... yet can have so much power.

                                          I think it's amazing how small Britain is when you consider how much power and influence it's had on so much of the world.
                                          I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
                                          I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.
