re: Of course, they don't come out and say it quite as bluntly as Ten......its masked by all kinds of right wing rhetoric.......but the message is still the same; that the needs of the poor people are screwing the rich in this country. It's not so much that for me, though I agree with what you are saying. The things that pisses me off, at my core, is that I knowsome folks that died making Korea free. Families destroyed. Now I'm listening to a Korean national talking about how he is against the draft, the same draft that killed 1000's of Americans to defend his native country. I may be wrong but I think Ten was born in this country but even if he wasn't, I believe he's an American citizen. And he's whining about taxes to balance the budget for a war he supports. He want's the poor folks to pay more than he has to pay. John, John, you're forgetting......one of the rights we have is to bitch and whine all we want. I agree that America's intervention may have made it possible for Ten's family to come to this country and that without American intervention, Ten may have been born and raised in an environment similar to North Korea. Having said that, if Ten is ungrateful, and I hope that's not true, he will not be the first.............look no further than Iraq for confirmation of that statement. I've said it before......people appreciate their freedom much more when they fight for it themselves. How many native born Americans take their freedom for granted? Their numbers are legion. I used to think Ten was an OK guy. But he's not. He a selfish SOB that has no sense of what what his citizenship means, or what this country sacrificed for his country. Or maybe he just doesn't care, he seems to think it's his due, that there is no debt to be repaid. Well, John, how can Ten be an okay guy......he's a Bush supporter! LOL [Just kidding, Ten]. Whatever. There are more important things going on. Agreed. ted
