I'm not sure what a Pop Conservative is, but it has to be one step better than the 'Neo-Con' I was accused of being in the past. Actually, I'm looking, searching for something that feels good and 'smells right'. As with religion, I find that I pull the good from all which in fact makes me an Independent. Granted, currently I lean to the right, as I hate that I have to register my guns so the government can come and get them if they so desire without my consent. I have a lot of problems with the status of our government in general. If you think about the term.. 'govern'ment. The whole term means those who govern our lives, control us and supposedly through the popular vote of ALL people decide what WE want which is not what it's about anymore. The people haven't got a say in anything. Much like the war in Iraq. You know where I stand there, so I won't even go there. But the point being and one that I appreciate, where did anyone ask us, but in the constitution or somewhere we the people decided to give the Pres. the power to make decisions like that. As far as the soldiers, they have rights, they joined of their own free will and if they thought they were free and clear like many who served terms in the service, they know and are trained for the possibility of going to some God forbidden piece of dirt in the middle of nowhere and in this case there may have been a lot of reasons bantered about WMD... Bottom line.. We got Saddam.. I don't care what the reason was, maybe they lied to us.. I don't care. We got Saddam. I haven't figured out whose rights were offended by sending soldiers to war to possibly die when they all joined and weren't drafted. I DO NOT agree with the draft. I was old enough to remember and even better, I used to think about the fact that if I had been a male I could very easily have been drafted. And if they insist on reinstating the draft, which I have never really heard from the powers that be, will be sexually non-discriminating?? A lot of scary thoughts out there. Personally, I think women shouldn't be on the front lines or in the middle of combat trying to play G.I. Jane, because like it or not, men have more muscle by nature, men are more logically driven as a rule.. It's call estrogen and women can't deny that we are different. Granted, I suppose if women want to fly fighter jets and such that's great. What if they are having their period. Seriously.. this is an issue in every woman's life. Maybe they take shots to stop their cycle as I know they are available.. Wow.. Said a whole lot for such a little post from you Jay.. :-) See what happens when you get me going first thing in the morning before my daily anti-depressant has kicked in .. >You're a nice one though. :) :) :) Thank you kind young sir.... We Will have to do coffee again.. I'm the midst of appealing a suspension because I had to quit school because I couldn't sit still due to the pain in my lower back, which is now diagnosed.. I'm supposed to go and pick up a walker and a donut to sick my big ass on. I haven't done either to date. I know I wouldn't carry a damn donut to school.. and I don't know that I would use the walker until I fell enough times to cause myself a decent injury. I can get my Transfer Associates really easily I found out. I didn't know how close I was. I can pull it off without doing Spring Quarter and hopefully get to see a Neurosurgeon and Neurologist before I make the commitment to finish another year of college and finally get that degree that has been such a bitch to acquire.. I've had just a few more obstacles than age, that's for sure .
