"If we went to war would (my friend) side with the US or the other side?" Really, that's an exact quote.<br /><br />I truly resent that we are taught now to fear our government and to never question anything, as all questioning is deemd "unpatriotic." I already feel like we do not live in a free society. (I feel the opposite, I feel its our duty to question when we feel something is not right.)<br /><br />The correct answer to the posed question would be "your question is invalid as it assumes only two possible answers. One could support the US but be opposed to war." But, I didn't have the courage to say that to the investigator for fear of messing up my friend's job application.<br /><br />This is our tax payer dollars at work folks. (Think some will come after me for posting this?)<br /><br />VirginiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19060161.post-89863918227684970732010-03-03T23:32:48.752-06:002010-03-03T23:32:48.752-06:00I miss Molly Ivins and Ann Richards...two of Texas...I miss Molly Ivins and Ann Richards...two of Texas' greatest women.emmapeelDallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05045502725282481075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19060161.post-38608251567917050482010-03-03T10:01:31.091-06:002010-03-03T10:01:31.091-06:00When you think about politics, you never know what...When you think about politics, you never know what can happen on the next day!interpretation of dreamshttp://www.dreaminterpretationguide.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19060161.post-70860805595362332752010-03-01T23:39:53.516-06:002010-03-01T23:39:53.516-06:00Between you and Mary Ellen, you're going to ge...Between you and Mary Ellen, you're going to get me to read a book this year...! :PLisa :-]https://www.blogger.com/profile/02237889098638895390noreply@blogger.com
