I see pancakes and bunnies and kitties possibly in your future. Have a nice day
"Vanity", thy name is....
I believe more should be asked of the American people for the war effort. I don't know exactly what it would be. But, some level of sacrifice would make us more aware of the stakes involved and build American character. It would also, hopefully, make the troops feel part of a larger team, where those at home were participating to help them.
There is no draft because one is not needed. I don't know where you are living, but taxes are killing me. Rationing, again, not necessary and there is no need to make "pretend" sacrifices. As for conservation, I don't drive unnecessarily given the rather high cost of gas and the fact that I'm looking for work, but if conservation of something or other were necessary, I'm sure it would occur. Now your point also assumes, in part, that there is no pain to us, no sense of loss, when we lose young people who exemplify the best of us. Oh, and your other arguments aren't very good either.
Plugging your own website is frowned upon around here. Too commercial.
Taxes are killing you, and you don't have a job? Gas is expensive and you're living in the US? Funny.
Now how about supporting a little sacrifice on the home front to support the brave men and women overseas, like a BTU tax?
Al Gore, is that you?

Yes, I read that article in the WSJ already. Funny that you'd call me narrow-minded when you most likely only read the WSJ, listen to conservative talk radio and watch Fox News. Be that as it may, the cost of living is certainly higher in the blue states. That's because everyone wants to live there. 99 of the 100 fastest growing communities voted for Bush? Sounds like a ridiculous right-wing fabricated factoid to me. But if it's true, it's probably because of abstinence-only sex education. If anyone hit the hail on the head, it's Lawrence O'Donnell.
OMG, I love that thing.
No complaints there.
I knew I smelt a ZOT!
I lived during that time and believe me I realize we are not retreading tires and having to use an ice box because the old fridge broke down...I know we don't have to ration visits to check on grandmother because of gas rationing..kids don't have to walk to school and the movies...Fudge was made once a year as Hershey's had gone to war..We worked a big victory garden and we raised the chickens we ate.
I don't idealize it..It was necessary..There was a world war going on...and our national debt v GDP was horrendous.
That little post of his was the clincher in the "do I or do I not" hit my ping list?Thanks. :^)
