    I Really Have A Sick Feeling In The Pit Of My Stomach

    All very disturbing. You have a woman running for the VP position who is sypposedly a blue-nose, who would burn books and would deny others the right to contraception or abortion, yet she can't persuade her 17 year old daughter to keep her legs together and failing that, to find a partner smart enough to roll on a rubber. We have a government fighting an imaginary war on other cultures. You have the same government inflicting its 'morality' on alternate, less mainstream lifestyles. A government that demands respect and obedience from other nations, yet offers itself like a bitch in heat to Israel. This is all very disturbing. Then there is this torture being done in the name of . . . . ?? C'mon shooter, elephantguy, low-orbitboy . . . in the name of what?? Defendin' democracy? Fightin' fer our freedom? And where do they find the freaks who would do this kind stuff to other human beings?? Are they outsourced? Are they from the private sector? No. These are the folks from next door. Our heroes in uniform. America's best. Oh well, as Rummy used to say, freedom is messy. Stuff happens.
