Re: an arteest

Ha :). You really don't know my background, do you? Just that I
happen to be in grad school *now.* No, I'm not a "professional
student." I have 17 years experience in construction in Florida with 13
years of management experience. I worked with my hands the whole time
-- running jobs doesn't mean you get to put your tools down. I went to
college while doing this and raising a family. I work for a living now.

Defense spending put clothes on my back and food in my mouth when I was
growing up, since my father was an electrical engineer working for firms
that got a good bit of money from military contracts. I've voted
Republican in every major election since 1984. The point is that it's
irresponsible to hide behind speeches about how great this country is
whenever anyone brings up criticism of it. That's running away from the
facts, a refusal to face what our country has done overseas. It's not
all bad, but it's not all good either. We have to face it and hold our
government responsible. Most of the time, though, we'd rather stay
ignorant children. It's a gutless way to live.
