Thanks for the assistance, Amos. It was getting a little lonely out here!

Freightdawg -- I'm not going to list anything here. Just read any of the dozens of threads dealing with Bush's regime, and the general shredding of our democratic principles and freedoms they have overtly and covertly undertaken, and you should get the point. If you really want to.

And if you re-read my original post, you'll see I wasn't starting an argument, merely making a comment.

I'll leave the last word to President Dwight D. Eisenhower:

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
