I don't care about law suits, I care about information. Whatever I do, I
believe in the right to enough information to make an educated decision. I may
smoke tobacco infused with huge amounts of nicotine, I may ingest french fries
dripping with trans fat, I may eat rice created from a terminator breed -- I
just want to *KNOW* what it *IS* before I consume it. That's a right I do not
currently have. They look like apples on the shelf -- but is that all they are?
Before we go to war maybe we should be treated to a cost-benefit analysis of
where hundreds of billions of dollars could go. Education vs. National
Healthcare Plan vs. Iraq War -- place your "X" in the appropriate box.
[ ] Education (U.S. style indoctrination/edu-macation)
[X] National Healthcare Plan (Gunshot wounds bandaged for freeeee!)
[ ] Iraq War (Sympathy for the Oil Industry)
