17. funny thing is here I was talking to a bunch of vets
and they were talking to a guy who was about to join the military. Eventhough all of them were what you would call typical bush supporters, one guy mentioned how his friend went to weekend drill (in the reserves) last june, and since they were required to be packed like they would be going to the field or on deployment, his whole unit was shipped off to Iraq that monday, no advance notice no nothing. I blurted out "That SUCKS!!" and we all laughed and had the feeling all over that most vets could relate to, the feeling of being screwed by uncle sam.
The point of this rant is that underneath it all, we all are all in this together eventhough those crazy freepers are dead wrong in our eyes, and we are fucking crazy in their eyes. We need to quit this partisan bullshit (after we get dumbya out the WH of course) and actually start dealing with our future. Because them rich white folk sure as fuck don't care about it, either side of the fence.


Hydrogen fuel anybody?
