If we owe our first amendment rights to them, why is it that those of us who 
disagree with the government all have to shut up everytime they colonize 
another country for United Fruit or BP? Killing third world peasants has 
never led to greater freedom here, just more repression (which we also have 
to fight along with the war itself).

As for lattes, we're all going to need plenty of caffeine for the struggles 
ahead!
