I was at a friends wedding, and late in the night his boss and I were chatting. At first we were dueling with jokes which start out with "There was an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman".
Somehow we got onto the subject of Tony Blair, and he asked why the English are "such pussies" since they are against the war.
I knew that this was a crossroads. I could just shut up and move on. But I am sick of idiots like this. This is a successful business man, who doesn't see reality.
So I step up to the plate this time and try to explain how RIDICULOUS this "war"on Iraq is. Needless to say he didn't understand me, and thought that you have to go into these countries to make sure that they don't have "WMDs". I wonder how he would feel if someone came into THIS country and occupied it to see if we have these weapons. Well, that is stupid. We are the GOOD GUYS :/
The third debate comes around tomorrow. The worst part about it is that it is at the same time as my poker tournament.... but I will have to skip it :)
Come on Kerry. We need change so badly!
