Why are you trying to create a conflict where none exists? And what's with calling mac "k-mart"?Advantage--brownbaggin.
Better step it up, k-mart.
That is certainly not to imply that people who do not criticize the government are not patriotic, but it does occasionally seem like there is a feeling out there, as illustrated in the link, that any critique of the government is wrong or unjust.
The author’s comments expresses all of my thoughts exactly regarding the terrorists actions today, yet when I try to tell my friends that “we might have caused it” by all of our government’s actions since 1900, I get blasted out of the water. This article made me feel much better about my beliefs.
Oh nevermind then (I guess the pic didn't work) - too bad.
But, it is a good interessting article, and 1 reader commented just like I have in another thread ( the past 200 years of history).
Here is what he had to write :
You got to wonder whatever happened to the freedom demos from the 60-70's.
Now, it's quite the opposite : Bush goes to war(s), and everyone cheers it on !
When I hear someone say “we might have caused it” by all of our government’s actions since 1900", I take it as WE...the people of the USA. I would like to know what WE did to deserve what happened on 9/11.
If I didn't want democracy & Freedom, then I wouldn't be an American. If you want anything else, you should probably live in another country...and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!!

Go ahead and jump in, it's not as deep as you thinkooooooooooooooooooooooo deep!
We allow fools into positions of power, even if we vote against them. Then when it hits the fan we sit on our asses, in utter shock, waiting for someone else to do something. I am ASTOUNDED BY THE IGNORANCE we allow into government. Some of the crap they pull and things they say really show a lack of higher intelligence. I don't know about you all but I want highly intelligent ppl running my country.
Damn I miss that guy.Warning: language
This describes it well, IMO.
