One wonders how many of the " rah rah let's go to war guys" actually try to enlist to fight the good fight? Not many I assume as it is easier to cheerlead than play the game....( Bush is a helluva good example of that)

It is astonishing how many of my otherwise knowledgeable university peers don't know this. Id say about 80% in my experience don't know this. Out of those 80% I can say that an overwhelming majority (if not all) do not support the war, and when I ask one further and describe the importance of contracts, they usually give me, "there is a better way" or "I do not agree with that". Of course I live in the Toronto area so maybe my results should be expected to be more like 95%. These people... Educated? Sometimes. Opinionated? Yes. That's the thing. Lefties, students, and other emotionally charged people don't care to bother themselves with the fact. They just use emotions and idealism. They also like to wave around their school flag to show they are elite and somehow their say is morer important then everyone elses. I find people in Canadian academia to be the most un-experienced, idealogical, out of this world, self rightous, elite wanna-be's on the face of this planet. They have a love on for the UN, Natives, and gay rights. I don't get it. I'm just glad i'm finished and done school. I hope to never go back to those group of whining idiots.

Very amusing when the polls show the Libs are gaining the right wing nut jobs are trying to disredit the results. The Libs are gainiing beause Harper comes across more like the Pillsbury dough boy than a leader who exites the masses Dion will appeal to the young and idealistic and that will carry him a long way.
