So glad to see they're not backing down. Every team should give away a GI Joe.

I sent off an e-mail to this W.A.M.M. group. Wonder if they will reply to it. Here's what I asked them: "I'm writing in response to a quote by Mary Beaudoin in which she said, " "This is hideous … a bad message to send kids. Kids need to be raised with the values of life, not killing." I just have one question. Regarding the need to raise kids with "values of life, not killing," does this include, in your view, raising them to value the life of the unborn as well, or is abortion an acceptable form of killing? Awaiting your reply. David XXXXX

Yea, but not the pro-choice I believe in, I mean how many choices to these folks believe in, first you choose to have sexual intercourse, then you choose to not use any kind of birth control, then you choose to abort what you chose to ignore in the first two choices, it never ends, and they don't get it. Declaring yourself pro-choice is premafacia evidence of the ignorance exhibited in the original declaration.

Lot of buzz-words in that mission statement. Two that got my attention, solidarity, and global oppression, Now why would Hasbro and the twins bow down to these folks by emasculating GI JOE?

Toymaker Hasbro removed the gun from the action figure,

...and furthermore what knowledgable woman would align herself with an organization that included the above mentioned buzz-words and others like them in their mission statement.

Maybe I just answered my question.
