I turned the TV off then I turned it on again because I realized HE CAN"T turn off. I still had to mute it because I just couldn't take it. I feel so guilty for that. I have put my child into a situation that I could not handle. This is very hard for me and I don't understand YOU not being upset. I don't understand the way you so blindly except this.

I blame myself for pushing my son into the medical field. He wanted to be a cook. He volunteered at the Buddhist temple, he worked at the Owl hospital such a gentle person now maybe I have destroyed what he was. How can you NOT be having a hard time with this. My heart is breaking. When he gets out if he wants to buy a little Sushi bar in Central America I will be behind him 100 %...

I showed my kids the truth about their Government and OTHER governments because I thought it would help them in life. All 3 boys have said once they got out into the real world they were to SO happy to have liberal parents...and I LOVE being called a pinko commie mommy.. you will just have to deal with my anti war posts it is who I am.

my kids said they listened to what we said about the Governments, religions,
etc and of course it went in one ear and out the other they thought we were kinda nuts ...but it really feels good when they call and say you guys were so right...and they thank you.

The problem is by trying to get them to understand MONEY is not the answer and ALWAYS doing what is right is...they want to be in the Peace Corp, they want to be in the Service to be where the world problems are.

I am not going to feel guilty for that but I do feel that I may have encouraged them into dangerous situations because they don't buy the bullshit and they are having to deal with brainwashed nuts who think killing is the answer to everything.

You know it is not rocket science. You know in your heart what right and wrong is. Do you honestly think dropping bombs on innocent people is the right thing to do? Selling people weapons so they can kill more innocent people is WRONG. Killing is WRONG.

This is not about WMDs, it is not about democracy, or womens rights, so you can drop that crap! it is the same imperialist expansionism that has gone one for centuries!

The United States government beleives it is the their job or as Kipling said the "White Man's Burden" of bringing "civilization" to the other races of the world, whether they wanted such civilization or not.

There is no way you guys can dress it up or spin it into bravery. It is cowardly. It is wrong.


You do not create PEACE my killing innocent people you create control and that is only temporary..

Live the fanstasy I understand why you do it..Its the easier path.
I respect your opinions.....don't understand concerning the fact of your hubby and son but hey, not a big deal. Your right to your own thoughts.

Consider the U.S./Canada on the order of a Green Zone. Pretty quiet here compared to the rest of the world. Problem is, there are those that don't care for the standard of living of the Green Zone. We need people that will insure your right and opportunity to make these statements in a realitivly safe enviroment.

We need people like me and Bong to show the world that it's not good to piss on our boots and we need the BlueCats, etc...to show the world that there is compassion here also. (got that bit from SouthPark) It's true though.......

Keep up the good fight.....I will.:smokin:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
