1. Dude. Who is "we?" Do you speak for Brandon? Ken? Paul?
Didn't think so. Keep your posts to YOURSELF.
2. So what that I post 3-4-5 things in a week? We're all mature enough here to realize what is going on and not get into a fight about it. Are YOU implying that this is TOO much for the kids/adults here? IMHO these people here are probably ready for this stuff than 90% of the kids AND adults out in the general U.S. population.
3. What's your point? I don't want people to be biased. I'll speak my mind regardless if I post first or last - but fine, you wanna poke the bear, you got it.
***MY thoughts on this***
I feel this is BS. I honestly don't see why we send this much to Israel. They are quite self-sufficient, yet we let other nations hang on by a thread? Look at Palestine - they need that money. Look at Lebanon right now - they are in DIRE NEED for that money due to the bombings going on. Africa - they can use it to help against hunger and help out with development of their economy. There are TONS of countries that can even use a portion of that. Heck - the HOME TEAM can use some of that right now. OUR OWN money situation is quite stretched. I don't feel that we are in dire straights - but instead of seeing that money go to Israel why not take care of us? Here's one point - in Michigan (if you view the portal) Gov Granholm put a 2 million budget for Michigan FIRST teams - but now it's gone thanks to the nation's financial situation. IMHO this is bull. Or what about helping out Katrina areas? Not even so much the people - but their economic development? The reconstruction of houses/businesses/etc...? Heck - I'd rather see it go to the 'War on Iraq' than there. We benefit next to nothing in relation to what is given.
Feel better? I see I'm startin to grab people's attention...
