I was doing fine with your 10:02 PM posting on August 12 until I got to your addressing Bedford Biles as Chicken Little Biles. Anyone who steps out of an airplane with over a hundred pounds of high explosive strapped on his back ... BEHIND ENEMY LINES ... is no Chicken Little, sir! I don't know who you are and I don't want to know who you are. I do not care to associate with anyone who would call a war hero decorated by the French and American governments "Chicken Little." You're not my kind of American!

After this, you dare to call John Putnam on the carpet for "name calling"?

And your main point -- that Marco residents should not be reminded of past mistakes -- is the mark of an ignorant man. As the philosopher George Santayame said: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
