If you go back to page two I had a nice long post that not only listed what I think, it also listed why I think that. If you didn’t understand or agree with those, I can’t help you. ---

As long as we are clear, it’s OK with you to take money from people and “redistribute it”. That’s nice. ---

You bet. The government takes money from me and redistributes it to Navy petty officers, government contractors, DMV employees, game wardens, highway construction workers, cafeteria workers in government buildings, barbers at the Senate (never mind the guy that keeps the snuff boxes full!), groundskeepers on the National Mall, security guards at the Smithsonian, and yes (gasp!), even people who are so desperate they have to ask for help. ---

Your reasoning and logic skills are stunning. ---

I am a bitch because I want to know why my beliefs are wrong and where my logic is faulty? ---

You don’t get it. Your beliefs and logic don’t mean a goddamn thing. The question is, why do you think you have the right to impose it on the rest of us? If this sound like a repeat, it is. Your dissing Navy personnel, who are protecting your sorry ass, as well as my sorry ass, was particularly distasteful. ---

OK, its definitely steel cage death match time. Just oughta warn you, **Mil** , I’ve lived in MN for a long time now, and a woman who can throw a chain over the bumper of a pickup truck and pull it out of a snowbank with her teeth…not somebody you want to mess with. And thats just rudimentary survival training for a MN female. They teach that even before Cream of Mushroom soup. Sure, there’s this image of all Nordic, leggy and demure. Dont let it fool you. You’re just from Chicago, when it comes to tough, you might as well be from the Hamptons. ---

Ah, I get it. My beliefs don’t match yours so I am therefore a bitch. I get it now. Because my Constitution says so. Right there in the preamble, black and wh…well, parchment. And because I believe it is the right thing to do. Since my beliefs “don’t mean a goddamn thing”, why do you insist on attempting to argue with me about them? And finally, dear, **I was** a Navy petty officer in a former life, so you can just get over that. ---

chique, you have still failed to explain why YOUR views should be imposed on the rest of the world. Can you possibly address that question? ---

Y’know what? This is lame. “I’m right!” “No you’re not!” “Yes I am!” “No you’re not!” I gave my reasons. If you don’t like them that’s fine, but at least have the balls to put up your own reasoning. ---

GAH! You still don’t get it! It’s not about who’s right or wrong. For the last time, why do you think you can impose your thinking on everybody else? ---

For the love of gawd, will someone else **please** step in?! I think poor **Milly** is trying to make some sort of point, but damned if I can see it. ---
