- Onto the soap box :
-
- No, I'd rather feed all the kids. Failing that I'll let the system (i.e. Capatalism
- with some social programs) handle it. I'm not going to selectively choose which ones
- live and which ones die based on what flag they live under. Look out for number one
- means you, your family, your relatives, your friends, etc., not those that fly the
- same flag.
-
- Patriotism sucks! It leads to wars, hate and racism.
-
- Getting of the soap box.
