You're attacking a whole group of people and saying there's something wrong with their brains, well, I have pipe in hand and it still seems my brains are less scrambled than yours. Want to discuss the gravitational flux of a Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar system? Or mabe discuss how Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights is like a twin brother to Ahab in Melville's Moby Dick? (Well, don't feel bad. I suck at mechanics.)
BTW I am 50, all my smoking friends are my age or older, half of us have businesses, and we have a bunch of retired veterans, three who have permanent disabilities from being wounded in combat. Eight out of ten are conservative, but most couldn't care less about politics. Why participate in a system that has in so many words, declared "war" against you?
I fought and Bled for this Country, as did others and AM just as entitled to my opinion as you are. You do your thing and I will do mine, and God can sort it out.
