And Another Thing....
Mar. 24th, 2003 05:03 pmI'm pissed off and sick of all the pro-war people who do nothing but tell the anti-war people (like me) how unpatriotic and anti-american and bad and evil and stupid and whatever else we are. and then go on and on and on about the constitution giving us all these rights and priviledges and blah blah blah.
HELLO yeah, that same constitution that gives us that right to disagree and speak out against that with which we disagree with.
Why is it that most of the pro-war folks out there - at least the ones I encounter- seem to think that they are the only ones with the rights to opinions on the matter? (If they're so pro-war, why aren't they fighting?) And why do so many people think that celebrities have no right to opinions in general? Though that senetiment seems to come mostly in reference to celebrities who are against the war. Perfect example, the Dixie Chicks. Sure they can be annoying, sure a lot of them are clueless idiots with no idea what they're talking about, but aren't they a gigantically inflated microcosm of the rest of the world? A lot of people in general are clueless idiots. A lot of people in general have no clue what they're talking about.
My whole point here is
I HAVE THE EXACT SAME RIGHT TO HAVE MY OPINION ON THE WHOLE WAR MESS AS SOME BOMB-HAPPY SCHMOE.
Kittens make me happy. I like kittens. I think everyone on the world would be happy and there would be peace on earth if everyone had a kitten. Or if you're allergic to kittens...a puppy would work.
So everyone go out and adopt a kitten or a puppy from your local aminal shelter. Adopt a grown-up aminal too so they don't get put to sleep.
