7. Privatize them supplies.

Whoops! Already did that, and got this clusterf*** for Uncle Sugar's top bloody dollar.

They should rot and burn in hell just for being such fools with peoples' lives, fortunes, and honor, aside from their ideological abyss.

6. Let me tell you about one man who was "wounded" in Vietnam.

He came back totally almost totally paralyzed. He was equipped with a wheelchair that was operated by his eye movements and he could also use a stick in his mouth to do a few tasks. When I heard of him he was a student at the University of Missouri, which at that time (the late sixties) had some more accomodation for people in wheelchairs than many places.

I know two stories about this man. One of them was the time he tried tapping for two hours to get into the building which housed the Handicapped Student Office. No one ever heard him.

The other story was when he persuaded several people to give him doses of a medication which together were enough to kill him because his life had become unbearable.

Hell is not a good enough punishment for the greedy war profiteers who do things like this to our young men and women, in my opinion.

8. In Oregon, the DEA

raided a house earlier this year and took the Nam quadraplegic's stash of homegrown mj and told him he was lucky they didn't take his
house away from him.

Doctor Jocelyn Elders says mj should be legal and treated
just like alcohol.
