I Am Against Torture
Edited on Sat Sep-23-06 05:46 AM by emanymton
There I said it. I am on record.

How in the world did we get here? A person has to actually come out state opposition to state sponsored torture.

I am fifty five years old, born in USA, served in the USA military and have two purple hearts.


What ever happened to the 'land of the free - home of the brave?

2. "Hey, where are we going.......and why are we in this handbasket?"
I wish I knew how we ever got to this point...this ol' world (and the US in particular) is getting to be so violent, mean, and hard-hearted.

7. Humor Really Is About The Only Way ...
to deal with such an awful thought.

Chalk me up as an America loving American brave enough to face any threat. Happily I wear the honorable term of liberal.

8. Man, I would cry otherwise.
Really. I never ever thought I would see things come to this. I know that it is inappropriate to make light of such a serious subject, but I actually want to spit in the faces of anyone who tells me this is OK. So I try to adopt this alternate strategy and keep from getting my old crippled butt kicked.
