With all due repsect, I have no idea what you are talking about here
regarding my "intellectual head-tripping." but I'll take a look inside and
see if I have been doing that and try to tone it down. Wasn't Clinton the
president for most of the last decade? I'm confused, but that's O.K.
As for your declared pacifism, I will respect that. I loved what Shane
wrote the other night about how we need warriors and pacifists in every war
to have a balance.
I do think I have a right to be concerned about the safety and security of
my country. I live at ground zero of another attractive target for the
terrorists, and there have been many FBI and other warnings pertaining L.A.
and the west coast since last week that probably don't make the regular
nationwide news. I think I would enlist if I was young enough and healthy
enough, by the way. I wish all safety to your son at this time.
