well heck, for that matter we do in fact have starving children and families right here in the US.

And yet the US government elite continue right on to spend on increasing their own perks/salaries/retirement, spend on increasing foreign aid, spend what? 30 times the rest of the world on defense, can find $200 Billion for a political war in Iraq, etc.

Where is the difference? Starving is starving no matter whether the flip side is a personal palace or voting yourself a higher salary and promoting an expensive fictitional war lie.

This is getting completely absurd. Its ok for me to do something, but when you do it you are a tyrannical threat to the world?

Where did good sense go?

It is "selfish". Not "irrational".

LOL! I knew you would come up with a good one. Thanks.

Well, I know I can't call Saddam evil on this thread. It's good to know I can at least call him selfish.
