  18.  
  19. "Care" is certainly an understatement about the emotions of a person whose 
  20. country is being butchered by the army financed, among others, by the same
  21. guy who sponsored the FSII match.
  22.  
  23. However, "care" does accurately describe the feelings of a vast majority of
  24. INFORMED (alas, they are a minority) Americans.

  28. >actually achieved soemthing.

  30. What makes you think I haven't been doing that?

  32. >I know, I know. It is easier to rant and rave and attack other people than it
  33. >is to actually DO something, but it might make you a happier person in the long
  34. >run if directed your energies towards MAKING a difference instead of merely
  35. >WANTING a difference.
  36.  
  37. It might not make you a happier person if you shut up, but it would definitely
  38. make you a wiser one.
