Afghan riots over Quran-burning: 2 days, 20 dead

I feel the same way padraic, my views changed after I was discharged from the military. I lost many friends to this war in Iraq. I lost family in the towers and I actually live in NY so I was about 30 blocks away when the attack happened. At the time I lived about 10 blocks away and had to smell the smoke for months since it was in the air quite some time. All governments are corrupt in my opinion and the laws they enact only really benefit those that enact them and enforce them.

I wish I did not have any of my taxes directed toward the support of religious institutions but I don't have the "freedom" under the constitution to refuse. Although that same useless piece of paper states clearly that religion and state should be separate. If you read the IRS handbook for churches and non profit organizations it states that churches are not obligated to disclose their finances, they do it on a voluntary basis.
Yeah, padraic that was Oscar Wilde. I love it when people are deluded so much as to say that the government represents the people. What a laugh! Go ask the many Vietnam vets that were forcefully drafted into the war what they think about that? Here in New York alone many of our homeless are military veterans from various conflicts the U.S. has been involved in. Most soldiers get screwed by the very country they fought to protect history has many examples of this.
