the table is round, each of us sitting around the table will have a
different view of point. We may or may not agree on each other, but I
guess the most important thing is respecting or understanding others
view of point. I understand that this is a stressful moment for
everyone, especially for the Americans. I do pray that the US
Government will come up with the right solution, and also hope that us,
this group of people that were got together by the Newtons can stick
together.:)
