...when it's someone else's life and health at risk.
That applies to all issues: Health, war, torture, pregnancy, whatever...

I took BOSSHOG's advice and shrunk down my DD-214, laminated it, and carry it with me. Whenever some shithead chickenhawk tells me I'm unpatriotic, or that I don't support the troops, I show them the section whic indicates that I rate the Combat Infantryman's Badge, the Bronze Star with "V" for valor, and two Purple Hearts. That tends to lead to a sudden onset of STFU syndrome.

6. As undistinguished as my military career was |

Mentioning it always serves to shut up those macho posturing members of my family who favor bombing and killing everybody in the world with skin one shade darker than theirs, as long as somebody besides them has to do the work.

2. Perfectly Articulated, Hepburn. This is the principle difference IMO between us and them. |
|
We may have our beliefs, but we keep them to ourselves.
They want to interpose their beliefs on everyone else.

5. Hi, Mike, and thank you. |

I was thinking about the waterboarding, military service, etc...and it seems to be the same theme song with them on everything: They preach the rules ~~ which apply to EVERYONE but themselves!
