10 years ago I had a couple of credit cards which I couldn't pay off. I was 21. I also had a car payment and insurance.
I got rid of my debt in my own way.
I didn't transfer my debt into my ideas of the National Debt.
I also realized at a very young age that the USA wasn't MY country and I don't really pay attention to racial demographics.
Who cares?
OOOOh. My particular combination of auburn hair, gay brains and grey eyes might be extinct in 100 years.
Why should I be concerned?
My contribution is fighting the creationists...intellectual battles is where it's at.

You do not know the real world in which you live, and your thinking has no place in the real world except in so far as it is phenomena of mental aberration." -The Iron Heel by Jack London

Please forgive my incoherent post. I have been sick with pneumonia and I just read part of Phat's OP.
I hope to be a more rational participant once I get through the whole thread..
