I recently replaced my corian nuts ...
I think I will stay with brass, thank you.
I have one more thing to say, here. IMHO, a LOT of the rancor that was unfortunately directed at folks in the military, was really, and rightfully, meant for the former administration. To attempt to tie support for the men and women who put themselves in harm's way for all of us, with blind faith to a dim-witted president and a self-serving administration, is the real insult.
Yes, I support our troops: I support giving them the body armor they need in order to perform their dangerous job in relatively safety.
Yes, I support our troops: I support the United States earning and keeping the respect this is due, and exersizing the restraint that is
due from, a super power, thus making their mission truly achievable.
Yes, I support our troops: I support putting them in harm's way with discretion, for truly worthwhile and righteous reasons- which does NOT include protecting only the economic assets of members of the administration.
Yes, I support our troops: I support having a firm focus on the goals and mission, and setting realistic timetables to achieve those goals.
But to politicize the support of our troops is a heinous bastardization of that support. To even suggest that one only qualifies a a patriot if one agrees with the current regime is a bastardization of the very rights and responsibilities granted us by The Constitution of the United States. Of the legion of things Bush Administration has to be ashamed of, that is truly one of the biggest, most shameful of those things.
I support our troops. The Bush Administration can go to hell.
