Pardon my freedom
Mar. 20th, 2003 02:14 pmIt turns out that the axis of evil runs through my workplace. One of our employees is about as far 'right' as one can be, without sprouting horns and a pointy tail. Example: I recently put up nameplates for all employees whereas none had existed before. Upon entering said employee's office, I was greeted with a huge-gantic picture of Ronald Reagan and a Bush I coffee mug. He recently sent out an email to the office that he and his wife were going to have a 'support the troops' rally on Saturday. I'm quite tempted to show up and 'balance out the argument'.
Is it not incredibly hypocritical to be pro-life (for the unborn) but dismiss the deaths of hundreds of thousands of children as a byproduct of democracy?
Is it not incredibly hypocritical to be pro-gun/pro-military (to defend ourselves, of course), but then train/sell arms to the enemy?
Is it not incredibly hypocritical to be a firm believer in Christianity, but then jump at the chance to kill as a means to make things better?
Is it not incredibly sad that the solution chosen is the one we learned not to emmulate in first grade?
I need to learn to balance my pacifism and my anger.
Happy birthday,
jonnyv. You are now Quarter Century Man. Wear it with pride.
I have an appointment with a urologist this afternoon. I find it incredibly weird that a few hours from now I'll trust someone I've never met to stick his finger up my ass. And pay him for it, no less.
Not that war is funny, but we all need a laugh now and again. ::Makes Transformer sound::
