Reply #34: I find posting here very interesting

We're supposed to be the smart ones...and yet so many of us have limited reading comprehension skills.

Please tell me where in my original post that I:

A. said I thought withholding money as coercion to escape judgement was "ethical" or

B. said that I thought Americans should have special rules.

Of course I said neither. What I did say was that I wasn't too upset that we were withholding foreign aid from the countries you mentioned.

I'll now take that further and say that I'm not upset with the idea of withholding money from a whole bunch of countries for whatever reason the government wants to dream up.

Why? Well, frankly because we need it here. We're in so much debt I cannot grasp the number and people starve and die of preventable health problems right here at home. I think we should keep our money here until we solve these problems.

Nope, I'm not an isolationist either. But in my family, we don't buy a bunch of stuff we cannot afford and we don't feed the neighbor's kids before we feed our own.
