You are aware I'm an American citizen by birth, right? Sometimes, you have to laugh to keep from crying. Especially since this administration changed how the draft works: Half the population, myself included, is now draftable until age 35 instead of age 28 now just because we have a penis. If our president is to be believed, I have good reason not to plan on living that long, and it's only a matter if I get killed against my will in a foreign country courtesy of my own government, or killed by foreign terrorists in my country because of it's collective ineptitude. > We need to be grown up about it, and allow them their attempts at > self-establishment in their misspellings and other foibles, so in time > they can find their way to their maturity. If the current administration decides not to only run one name on the ballot in 2008 or destroy itself before then, you might be right. On the other hand, we have the collective force California working against us on the maturity and economic prosperity thing; they're a net drain on pretty much everything in a four state radius that isn't protected by a border crossing. -- Paul Johnson Email and IM (XMPP & Google Talk): baloo@ursine.ca Jabber: Because it's time to move forward http://ursine.ca/Ursine:Jabber
