A thriving working class is more important to national well being than a hawkish military. I didn't used to be this way. I used to be a flag waving, Tom Clancy reading idiot who truly believed in "American exceptionalism". I was also young stupid and inexperienced. Can't believe the 180 I did; but I owe it all to the neocon jerkoffs.
