- It would be too easy to talk about providing for the national defense,
- etc. The fact of the matter is that conservatives usually don't
- fall for the "Why can't we all just love each other" crap. I know
- that, for example, if America was unarmed, some freak would arm himself
- and capitalize. No, I'm not paranoid and I am damn sick and tired of
- so much of MY money being WASTED on UNNECESSARY defense (damn sticky
- shift key). Yes, I do resent the government taking away my money
- with the pretense of helping others. I can give to any charity I
- like. I don't need the gubment to pick them for me. The fact of the
- matter is that it is unethical. No, I am not heartless. I would
- just rather control my money "vote" and give to those organizations
- and people that I want to help. I worked for my money, I should be
- able to do that.

- You say, "but then X will go unnoticed." If you care about X
- then give your own money.
