It's not black-and-white. Just because I support myself above supporting them does not mean I do not support them. That's like saying that I can't contribute to a charity if I'm holding any money back for me. I'm going to look after my own safety above theirs, certainly. That has absolutely nothing to do with my support or your purported lack thereof. I do not dislike GWB himself, but his policies make me pull out my hair in frustration. If they're out of food, that is poor accounting/planning on his part -- not mine. I shouldn't be unpatriotic or "not support the troops" if I choose to look after myself firsthand in the horrible military decision that made them lacking in supplies in the first place. If I have things left, they can have them. Support is CHARITY, nothing else.

edit: I should add that I don't mean to inflame you, because you're one of the posters who I frequently agree with, issues of politics aside.
