1. Dammit CornField! America and the world are SAFER.
Hmmm... multiple choice:

A. CornField, why do you hate America?
B. Hey CornField, perhaps you'd rather French-kiss Saddam Hussein?
C. CornField, it's people like you who make us weak and help the terrorists win.
D. All of the above.

:eyes:

3. It's called personal responsibility
It's a word the neocons spread around a great deal, but don't really understand. For instance, when I purchased my last vehicle, the cost of fuel (up to $4 per gallon) was factored into our budgetary total cost. Will this price hike at the pump hurt our budget? No, not really. It will mean less money for us to deposit in other places, but we've PLANNED for it.

In short, if you want to play, you're gonna have to pay.
