I didn't ask for a thing. Nor did I ask to discuss prescriptions. You already
answered why it is appropriate to participate in a public forum. You are

Re: Remember Crimes
If you have a big gaping wound spouting blood from an artery, or a bullet near
that brain that with one move of the body will cause a fatal injury...which do
you fix first? Which is more important?
Everytime a bleeding heart brings up some anti-war rhetoric, wally trots out
the "why ain't you crying for Chechnya" argument.
Its a bore on both sides. Make something.
