Yes. But that still doesnt mean you can shoot people in the back.

Two/too/to oh well at least I didn’t confuse your and you’re.With you, it's a typo. On Twitter, it's a way of life. A remarkably high percentage of tweeters don't know the correct usage of to/too/two, it's/its, there/their/they're, or your/you're.

Our president is a poltroon
who cannot be gone too soon.
A scandal a day,
the American way
makes him worse than a buffoon.

Poltroon and buffoon are two words that not only rhyme, but also describe Obozo perfectly.

At least they’re not advocating shooting them in the back.
