Anyway, time for bed for me - I've just worked a 12 hour grave-yard shift and I'm knackered.

Duane - I don't want to start threads on this subject on this board - there are plenty of discussion boards out there that allow for a much more in-depth dialogue. Just to make a brief observation, however - if you follow the US news media, you probably will see coverage of many peace demonstrators and may think that view is representative of the majority of Americans. It is not. The majority are not causing news and are not getting coverage.
Certainly, I can give you my personal views, insights and observations if you want to email me directly. But let's try to keep this board focused on basketball. I know we got a little off track on the flag patch issue, but at least that was directly related to our role as an official.
BTW - what the heck is "knackered?" I assume it is a slang term for "exhausted." Over here, we might say "bushed", "dead" or "wiped."
