I did. I told her, "Iraq didn't attack us, and neither did Afghanistan. It was allegedly Osama Bin Laden's minions. Osama is probably chillin' with his sluts somewhere in Iran, a country we're in bed with." It was a group conversation, and she decided to leave the conversation after everyone involved agreed with me. I'm not about to harass her after she intentionally left the conversation. I did say something, though.

The truth is it shouldn't matter, but we let it. If we all could be on the same page, that would be ideal. But the modern bourguoisie, just like the old, holds the power and uses it to keep us separated. Our middle class is dwindling, and hostility is indeed building between each political party. Thing is democrats are pretty much just as bad. Right now I wouldn't say the conflict is "Republicans v. Democrats," but rather "The heartless uneducated v. the educated humans."
