"Cautious, careful people always casting about to preserve their reputation
or social standards never can bring about reform. Those who are really in earnest
are willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and
privately, in season and out, avow their sympathies with despised ideas and their
advocates, and bear the consequences."

CONDOMS SENT AS FOREIGN AID, MADE IN USA

My God! How dare the American government insist on using American products for foreigh aid! Those rat beastards. Can't they just SEE that giving Americans productive employment to produce their charity goods and using American supervision to oversee the distribution of American largess is morally repugnant?

I suppose the thinking is that if you supported the poorer countries businesses you wouldn't need to send them aid in the first place. I mean, I thought the idea of aid was to make people's lives better in those countries.

True enough, Es. But why not help out our own country in the process? The difference in price for the condoms isn't THAT big, and we ( as a country ) have suffered enough of the outsourcing of jobs. There is no reason ( other than price ) that the condoms made here in the US should be shunned in favor of ones made in Asia.

Does Rumsfeld use an escort service, or the Marine Corps?

The question does not make sense. What are you asking?

He means, is Rumsfeld getting it by paying for it, or is he going to continue screwing the United States Marines!

And to our native friend who parodied my piece of the thread;

Way back when, when the Anglos first appeared on the horizon of this continent, my ancestors had already been here and gone some 450 years or so. And, they didn't leave a calling card. Nor did they steal land from the natives. As a matter of fact you would be hard pressed to find ANYONE from my ancestral nation having had a hand in the devastation done to the natives of this land. No, not one. Not everyone living here now, had ancestors with blood on their hands. Not only that, had the natives living here at the time of the Anglo invasion been intelligent enough to figure out that the "Nations" needed to group together and drive the "white" man off their property, they wouldn't have lost all of it. The native tribes were at each others thoats LONG before anyone showed up on these shores. And in case you never learned your ancient history, the first "natives" living here crossed the land bridge from Russia to Alaska thousands of years earlier, which would make THEM the FIRST Europeans on the continent! Gee, what do you know about that?

I don't know in what way. I didn't say it, someone else did, poorly. I was merely clarifying.
