Congress

I wonder if this is true. I would not be surprised if it was fairly accurate. (You should read the comments, there are couple of funny ones.)

As a sidetrack, nothing makes me more disgusted than spousal abuse. My mother spent years working for a women's shelter in our hometown and I grew up not just seeing the women, but also their children. Those kids were so scared and lonely. They left such an impression on me, to this day I still get sick to my stomach thinking about it.


Just one more thing

I don't want to keep posting about Iraq but I needed to add to this. Disagreeing with the government during a time of war has always been considered anti-american. Probably always will be. It is a sad truth that a lot Americans don't understand the point of our freedoms. They talk about freeing Iraq but try to stop anti-war speech by shaming the people speaking. Calling them traitors, enemies and anti-american. To me freedom of speech means a lot more than government allowing you to say what you want. To truly have free speech the citizens and media have to let you talk as well.
