An argument that I find particularly silly is when people say, “How can you do (insert action) when (insert big event) is going on?”
Examples:
“How can you spend $30.00 on dinner when people in Ethiopia are starving?”
“How can you talk about John Kerry when there is a war going on?”
So, kristinejm, I take it you have completely put your life on hold because we are at war? You haven’t bought a new pair of shoes in three years? Or a car? Taken a vacation? Done something frivolous? Enjoyed a moment? Took pleasure in life?
Are you a military wife? Have you driven by these lines yourself? I am on base all the time and have not seen them, although there is assistance available to those who need it.
