| Exactly, marite. I have one kid; he's 14. At this point, I'm interested in college prep, the college app process and financing a college education.

I have to say that I was extremely offended by this comment: Quote: |
(ducking and covering for the inevitable attacks on the military and those who choose to serve.)

| Well, she was right that she'd have to duck and cover, wasn't she? | |

| When she started singling me out for attacks she was- did you see just a few titles of the threads that I have started in the past? #70
If I am going to be attacked for my comments- do me the courtesy of keeping them in context .
I still haven't seen where those who chose to serve were attacked. | |

| True, I've seen more attacks from liberals on those who chose not to serve, like Cheney. | |

| Hunt, that's what the current governor of California (and other conservatives) called Kerry, who served in the Vietnam War, when Kerry was running for President. | |

| According to the Wikipedia entry on "girlie men" (isn't Wikipedia amazing?), Schwarzennegger used the term to describe Democratic candidates in general, and a Democratic "insider" used it specifically with regard to Kerry. I see little danger of either Obama or McCain being named girlie men in the upcoming election. For what it's worth, Hillary Clinton isn't very girlie, either. | |

| I guess I did, unless you are just pointing out that conservatives insulted people, like Kerry, who did choose to serve. Of course, Kerry was also photographed windsurfing. | |

| I don't know...I have to find out if my manhood is being questioned. If so, I'll have to go spend some time drumming in my sweat lodge until I feel better. | |

Are you disputing that that takes real courage?
