Ten Years After the Congressional Authorization of War Against Iraq

Oh how I argued with people, even my friends, about this brewing disaster.

In hindsight I'd say that many of those friends are now ex-friends.  They didn't get it, simply didn't understand.

As a free man in a free society, it is often a good thing to challenge the status quo and call jingoism out. If you have to flip people off as you walk out, or get thrown out of their lives, so be it.

There is nothing worse than having to listen to or read crap when you know you're in the middle of it.

There is too little time left in my life to put up with the mob, and yes, the mob ruled in this instance.
