Do you really think there's no difference between US-waged wars in Afghanistan and in Iraq? still not the point. but never mind. and no, i didn't mean that. i just meant i didn't agree that war-funds would be redirected elsewhere, just into a different (and perhaps more just) war.
No, I'm saying that I'm not interested in defending it to you, and I brought up my personal experience just to let you know that knee-jerk free-market arguments don't work on me. so it's a "knee-jerk-free-market argument" to say that some program isn't working the way it should?
why should you address my points instead of dismissing them? well, it's your journal, so i take it back. you're not obligated to do anything. i originally said it because i thought my point was a valid one and wanted to hear how you excuse Obama for it. clearly you don't agree, so nevermind.
I think people should use words that convey meaning. Just because most people use language carelessly doesn't mean you have to do the same. i apologize. i made assumptions about how familiar you are with common english sayings. i should be more careful in case i happen to be speaking to someone who doesn't know (or refuses to acknowledge) the actual meaning of a given phrase and just takes it literally.
