Found this in old e-mails. Some sounds like Andy, others don't. Most sound quite sensible.

>you were born in to come over and disrespect ours.

>I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you

>I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are
>qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or
>tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or
>any other business.
>
>We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in
