I'm hoping someone will have information on this user. I used to talk with him a lot over the net for about a year, then he suddenly stopped being online. After a while I finally talked (very briefly)to one of his brothers (through Americankid's AOL account). He didn't give me much info, but apparently Vaughn (Americanguy) passed away from (I think) an enlarged intestine or stomach. Whichever it was, I do know that he was fighting his sickness for quite some time.
His brother signed off a very short time later, even though I still didn't have the full story, and his name has never popped up on my buddy list since.
----
From conversations, Vaughn was a very depressed person, very confused with life, but still had some hope that he would someday be healed and find a better life in America. I'm just really sad neither of these things came to pass.
All I can do now is hope that he was taken by the grace of God and is now happier than he ever was on this Earth.

...You never miss the water until it's gone...
Tell me, is there anything we miss before it's gone?

Reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Reports of _your_ demise have been premature, but accurate.

Well, you're a great artist, I'll give you that. Do you do anything in pen?

Love the AAFOKKER plane, quite awesome.

However, I believe cynicallism and criticism is the best way to improve...

...and I think pro-American patriotism at the moment is incendiary and dangerous, for several good reasons.

First, the USA has a TERRIBLE foreign policy, and this is an international website.

Secondly, the USA has dealt more evil than it has recieved, over the course of history

(Expelling Indians from their land, capturing Texas, Manifest Destiny, William Walker's invasion of Central America, slavery, the Korean War, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and now Iraq)

...despite the fact that 49% of the country is good at heart.

Love others before thyself.

on september 11th 1973, a US-backed coup in chile overthrew the democratically elected government and installed in its place what turned out to be a long-lasting and oppressive dictatorship. The coup and ensuing chaos resulted in the deaths/executions of at least 90,000 people.

Thank you very much for the kind comments and the fav! You draw people so well, I wish I could do people that well! And the airliners are really, really good!!!

Open For Commissions!

That was a very touching response well I guess your right so I guess something needs to be done about it and people like you need to speak out. But I don�ft need any body on the news standing up to things and getting hurt. So I can only wish you good luck for all your hopes and dreams. I wish I could help but there is only so much I can do. I wont for get about it and will let other people know so others can get a better understanding if its ok with you. I commented on some of your stuff. Very nice just so you know I don�ft really like just giving a response like (cool this is great keep it up) I do some times but I like to try to make people work harder and push themselves to get better so don�ft think of me being ugly with you I never want any body to think that but these letters can only give so much of a persons personality. I will be keeping up with you. And have fun in Pittsburgh.

I don�ft mean to be rood but that is so sad. I am white yeah well you can see my picture up at the top of my page but I think everybody is so nice I love Asian people. Plus I am in love with an Asian girl and she is sooooo nice I have friends from Indonesia and other parts of the world and when you are friends with them your differences start to go away. Yeah there are people that don�ft want to hang with other people because of color�c. So sad but I know that explained something but its not telling me what�fs wrong with being friends with a person�c I don�ft know it just seams harder to be racist than to just be friends. Well that is what I say o yeah I say something in your journal check it out! And thanks for the response you were very nice in your reply I much appreciate that. Some people can get very rood and have no respect for others. Nice talking to you.

Have a great day!!!

Once again I say thank you. Yes sorry I didn�ft say much but I didn�ft have time. Yeah I have much trouble with people understanding another country�fs way of life and style of living and so on. I still don�ft understand why people are mad when America is a mixture of people from other countries America is a name of a continent and all the people here are from another country that just wanted to leave in America. I have an Indonesian friend and she loves America. It bothers me to have people hate each other so much. We are all human beings why cant the whole world see that.
