way to go “keeping it short”.
I take it personally because I choose to be active with my opinions concerning an issue that affects my Government. Being active and getting 'pissed off' is the only way to make any difference - always has been. As De Tocqueville said (though some say it was Hunter S Thompson) "the people get the Government they deserve".

With regard to my apparently disrespectful remarks, I don't see the point of a community of people all stating their thoughts and yet not interacting with them - that isn't a forum... it's a fucking diary. If you don't like me taking you to task for what you write (rather than what you think), try arguing back instead of accusing me of not "respect[ing] your right to disagree".

re: "way to go “keeping it short”" - Check the title of my last post.
