Friend of mine a while back was bitching about welfare folks. And by then I had grown a little tired of his 30 minute rant. Good guy but only stops talking long enough to catch his breath. I felt it my patriotic duty to remind him that the right to those opinions and the soapbox he was standing on (he's on it a lot) did not come cheap. I agree with him but since he had no part in the payment of those rights in peacetime or any other time I was just tired of hearing him talk. And although I had part in payment I do not feel the need like (arotc boy) or sniper to be constantly ranting on about them. Like to listen more than I talk and like to read more than I like to waste my time plunking away on an inanimate object such as this keyboard.
