- I see. So what do you, oh brave defender of choice, suggest I
- do about the part of my toil that is applied, by way of
- taxation, to the construction of bombs, guns, other explosives,
- and the means of their delivery? I would not choose to spend my
- money in that manner on my own, and I'm just all het up that my
- gov't isn't following my wishes about how my taxes are spent.

- Hint: you *can* exercise your freedom of choice about how your
- tax dollars are spent. It's called "voting".
-
- But really, my heart bleeds for you. You poor thing! Forced
- to pay for counselling that MENTIONS abortion, when you could
- be paying for welfare for all those people instead!
