I agree. I will not be doing it anymore.

When in doubt, I would go to the bottom line of the the party's beliefs. I always liked the Republican...."give them the fishing pole, not the fish analogy"

I am in a different reality mindset now.
I was a hawk...and felt very comfortable with the war in Iraq, sad to say. You speak of objectivity. I do not feel that can be applied to anymore. War is not objective..it is big business. Too many people with their own agenda are pulling the strings. I know how you feel about conspiracy theorists, TB...and I do not expect to change your mind...nor would I want to. However...anyone who thinks this administration has altruism at its' core level is lacking objectivity...nothing is black and white...only math and science(once proven).
Enough is enough...Kings X
