Karen, why do pacifists get special attention? Women should also work for no pay for others should they because they don't like fighting? Pacifists could work at anything they like. Being a hedge fund operator seems fair enough as a job. Women are mothers as a job. Or, one could simply be a pacifist capitalist, allocating capital from a deck chair under and umbrella at a beach. The USA is at war, but I don't see all the non pacifists rushing around doing things for other people in a weird circle of altruism, with nobody doing anything for themselves. I think you are too caught up in your insults and megalomania ideology. It's not cowardly to go about one's business while others are going about their's as soldiers. People aren't sponges because they don't donate all their money or labour to whoever you think they should donate their money and efforts to. Your country is at war, but I bet you haven't sold your house and sent all your assets to the President to help the troops. That doesn't make you a sponge in my book. Nor a coward. Nor, I bet, do you spend your days helping other people for no pay. The ideology you are espousing is commie collectivist kleptocratic alpha male territorial tribal dominance hierarchy thinking = the lives of individuals are the property of the state. Mqurice
