I went to McDonald's today...

And I saw a drink cup saying "National Salute to the U.S. Military".

What kind of crap is that?

Of all that's happening in Iraq I come upon this nonsense Mickey Ds put up.

This is a insane way to celebrate our invaders and occupiers while soldiers and Iraqi were slaughtered minute by minute!

God! I hate myself.

3. Buy at Burger King!

They supported democrats. Get rid of McDonalds.

My marine nephew spoke of the horror of picking up the scattered remnants at Fallujah.

6. You know what you should do?

You should ask McDonald's if they're actually donating proceeds from the sales to provide needed supplies for the troops. Everyone has heard the stories about the lack of almost everything...ask them if they're putting their money where their mouth is or just mouthing hollow patriotic platitudes.

8. Please...

...do not hate the troops.
They (as far as we know) hate the regime too.

AND, don't eat at Micky D's! It's full of fat and sugar.

There's a DVD out called "Supersize Me" where this guy only eats McD for a month. Almost killed him. Good funny docu-thing. Rent it.

Our troops are kids put in a real bad place. Yeah, I support them, but not the stupid idiots that made them go there in the first place.

...ohhhh

9. Why hate your self! F... that. Get off the grid. Free your mind.

You know, get off 'THE Grid'--TV, radio, land lines, over processed food (including what they call 'beef' in supermarkets). Support innovative stuff, local stuff, leftie stuff, secular-humanist stuff. Your insight should not be used for self punishment. Use it to get out and enjoy yourself and others.

10. Stay away from fast foods, it'll ruin your health, and no need to support

corporations unfriendly to the enviornment.

Read "Fast Food Nation".

Support our troops, bring them HOME!
