I've never tried to become popular...

You can ignore me if you want...at times i like to challenge 'the conventional thinking'...read (and even post) alternative perspectives on what may be happening around us....recently i talked with a young friend of my brothers who graduated at the top of his class at West Point Military Academy and is now an officer in our Special Forces...he has been on training missions all over The Middle East and can't talk about a lot of what he does. I have A LOT of respect for folks like that defending our country. Yet, I did ask him some tough questions and he actually appreciated them.

My favorite professor in college motivated his students (in his International Law classes) to question the world around them. Don't take what you hear from our government for granted. You can still be patriotic but it's important to be well informed before you make a judgement on something significant like going to war.

regards,

-Scott
