[meteorite-list] clarification

[W&S Schroer]

Hi list,
I had no intentions to offend anyone by voicing my opinion about American 
presidents and I thought I made it clear that I was not talking about any 
particular government when I wrote about 'our' governments in general.

I know we should stay away from politics on the list but it is hard to avoid 
political statements when one wants to talk about the lack of funding to 
science in general and I think that's what the subject was all about in the 
original posting.

Again, my response was to Darren Garrison's posting where he listed a 
statement by Ben Bova who in turn made some highly political statements.

So I say sorry to anyone who feels offended by my posting. Being a newcomer 
to the list I'm still trying to learn the tricks of the trade and since 
English is my second language only I might not find the correct expressions 
sometimes and the meaning of what I'm trying to say gets slightly 
distorted..
