2. Good for you Nikki.
You bet, the "war" has a limit, doesn't it.

I know I am a democrat now -'cause we really do all think the same.

You are hereby accused of attempting to foment Class War. Don't you know that in America there are no classes?

Great screen name by the way.

4. Excellent idea!!
Even the people making it home in one piece have found so much loss - jobs, businesses and homes.

5. Anyone who benefits most from our country's liberal laws should be the
first to proudly fight for it.

And when I say "liberal", I mean liberal as in all of the benefits and laws and tax breaks that help corporations. Those are very liberal.

Every other law is quite the opposite; those stifle the rest of us.

6. Sorry, I think that
this is a very unliberal and unprogressive position. The children ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE for the crimes of their parents.

8. Why bother drafting them? Why not just execute them?
I mean, thats what we really want right? To make sure that some innocent people get killed, to prove that killing innocent people is wrong.

Why bother with the randomness of War? We've got lethal injection.
