I'm sick to death of people here not giving a shit about the homeless veteran population
Advertisements [?]
I'm tired of being ignored by congress and the President and all the people here on DU.

I won't go away so FUCK anyone who tells me to take it easy or wait my turn

On the other hand, since THIS bullshit screed is the only thing I've done this month to help this particular cause I really don't have a fucking leg to stand on.

Part of the solution or part of the problem.


And just as soon as I get off my ass and DO something about it I will become legitimate in sharing this rage.


(Man, Ranting on this board is TONS easier than getting out the protest signs or gathering signatures. People here who actually DO those things know exactly what I'm talking about and I say, God Loves them.)

Flame suit ready.
