Jail or War?

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Sorry...I've been gone a few days....we are in Iraq to protect my freedom of speech. Wow....I didn't know my freedom of speech was at risk in Iraq. And I suppose Viet Nam was about my freedom of speech too. That or the ability to get really cheap manicures..

Sara, you know we're usually on the same side of things politically, and I still agree with you, but just as a clarification....

Terry really believed he was going to Vietnam to "fight the commies" (his words), who, if they won in Vietnam would be coming for the US next, so therefore, yes, in his mind, he was defending your freedom of speech. He was defending America and it's way of life and everything it stood for.

However, he will be the first one to agree that you have every right to your opinion and your right to voice that opinion. He does have a problem with people who burn the flag, but other than that, protest away!

Now, about men not having input on abortion because they don't understand it - I like the way you think!

ES, No problem. If we are going to go down that road, however..........

Only people with military service allowed to vote on war resolutions

only people who ACTUALLY pay taxes allowed to vote on the budgets, right down to local level

[Edwina's Secretary]

I didn't know there was an opportunity to vote on war resolutions???? So Cheney cannot vote....Rumsfeld.....I don't count what Bush did as military service....Wolfowitz....I'm thinking I might like this idea!

As for paying taxes.....have you ever meet anyone who pays no taxes? If you buy something in a store you pay sales tax. If you buy gasoline you pay tax....so who are you disenfranchising with this poll tax idea?

Actually there is no logical, empirical evidence that war has allowed us to keep our personal freedom, the only evidence we have is that war kept the US seperate from Britain, and isn't it so today that the people living in Britain can go on the computer and type what they want? We are taught that war has given us our freedom, but its not logical to come to this conclusion.
