Any "Cold War" VICTIMS out there?.....where are you? Iraq/Pensions/SS?

[KoKo]

Yeah.....tell me about it...."Duck and Cover....and our whole National Debt....and where did it go?

TO DEM/REPUG WAR/CONTINUATION.

And.....what the hell did we get out of it? And what will our Children and Grandchildren....get out of it.....The many wet dreams of PNAC'ers......out of our Pensions, 401-K's and all the rest......

In the end.....what was it all about? Tell me.....why did we sacrifice our salaries for the "military build up during Viet Nam, through the last decades of World Trade Organization....Jobs to China, Trade to China.....and all this for "low maortgage interest rates, cheap imported quilts and housewares, and car loans, and the rest?

WHY? DID WE DO THIS?

3. Yeah, let me know too...

Years of dealing with cancer caused by Cold War era nuclear weapons tests. It has destroyed my life, but at least I am still alive, which is more than I can say for thousands of others who were similarly exposed, and died horrible, tragic deaths. So as I struggle along, and I ask: Was it worth it to us?

Answer:
Fuck no.

6. That's okay...I assume folks read all the time..and i'm not looking at the

folks who can only spend maybe and hour at the most on DU in the "Night Crowd."......
