Or my sister. Who thinks politics doesn't affect her. This is a girl who is going to be a teacher. An *ART* teacher.

My mother voted for Bush. When I told her that my brother very well may be drafted, her reply? "No... Bush said there won't be a draft!"

I want to cry.

I do believe my parents were crying too.

I was just drunk...

What's so insulting is how the Bush administration just relies so much on ignorance... and how far it's gotten them over the years.

Seriously... can you think of a more dangerous man ni this world.

Nothing good ever came easy... so why, Aragorn, WHY is it that stupid people change it to "Nothing good ever came?"

The draft isn't going to affect me, possibly a stop loss but I have a soft shell MOS. Most assholes will say that there isn't going to be a draft, but at this point, I don't care. I didn't think there'd be a war until Bush threw it out of nowhere. I'm sorry, man.

the stupid thing i find about the US elections is that every state (and county) have a different method of voting and second voting isnt composory ..

your county needs election law reform so that voting (and registering to vote) is standard across the entire country. that and many other things like
