Then she asked me if I'd rec'd my "tax cut"--HA! was no tax cut--was merely an advance on what I would have gotten back anyfuckingway. No response from dag on either point.
whatever.

Good freakin lord, yanno, I do have a JOB where I don't exactly have the ability to respond to your comments.

And I'm not going to bite on a bone that's been drug through the mud. Really no use in it. You're convinced you're right, I'm convinced I'm right. When you put your hackles down (Both of you), maybe we'll be able to talk about this intelligently.

Considering I've been splattered with the mud both of you are slinging, I'm doubting that highly.

But considering I've been called an anti-feminist ignorant bigoted babykiller today, I guess I will just go back to my hole.

Good lord people are ugly today.

The September 11th attacks were better news for America than this election.

I dont know if the draft will come back, but it is not a ridiculous notion.
I know that the military is stretched very thin. I know that the various service divisions have not made their recruiting goals and are now offering a variety of new bonus incentives. I do know that a provision of the No Child Left Behind law seeks to collect the names and addresses of young men, and soon, young women of draftable age, and currently uses this info to direct recruit. I do see that Rumsfeld's bold rethinking of the military has ignored the Powell doctrine and what was learned in Vietnam. And it seems that something must give. So we'll see. Perhaps we will succeed quickly in Iraq and Afghanistan. Or perhaps we will suffer another catastrophic attack that will spur enlistment just when we need it most. I hope its the former.

UT assures me that the draft WILL NOT happen. How dare you? He says anyone who thinks the draft MAY happen is a moron, idiot and something else I can't recall. Oh,yeah, "Loser"---geeez, you're stupid.

Or once the elections in Iraq take place, Bush could just declare victory and cut them loose. I don't think it would take much prodding for the press to not cover any ensuing chaos in the country. We could then blissfully forget we ever went there.

When is a good time to leave? In your opinion?

The families of the people who died over there as a result of this guys politics will never forget.

Nor should the world forget the consequences to what happened.

If we forget we'll do it again.

He's been wrong before, the optimist. I still love him. (He cuts me the same slack, I hope.)
And hey, I hope he is right!

That's not what I said Bri.

Warch and I know how to disagree. At the end of the day, it don't matter 'tall.

Now that Cheney is at the wheel for 4 more years! It does my heart somewhat good to realize that the state of MS. has no monopoly on illiterate, uninformed, unwashed and poor misguide folks.

Is there one? I'm afraid Bush got us into a no-win situation.

The sooner we leave, the better. The longer we stay, the more dead and the deeper the quagmire. When will we EVER learn the lessons that history has to teach?
