44. Also...
Why did I think that Republicans cared for the Vets? (Maybe because it seemed as though it was veterans who went out of their way to bad-mouth Kerry?) Or that most Vets were republican? (I've noticed that a lot of vets like Reagan over Carter.)

And I *thought* that Affirmative Action used to cover vets, especially disabled vets. Was this true at one time, but no longer?
