do the people you see at your shop understand this? Or, have they done drunk the Kool-Aid?
One man with courage makes a majority.

Those ratings are amazing Dan
That is absolutely amazing and every veteran should look at those ratings and consider why they vote for their representatives.

Vote Democratic, the ass you save may be your own.
Are vets aware of these ratings?
Because I get the impression in the these conservative rural districts that the vets are voting for these literal zeros (Foxx, Taylor, and McHenry).

And all the men and women merely players.” So enjoy the Drama.
PS I'm having a hard time
taking myself seriously with my kitty's photo next to my comments. Is anyone else suffering this phenomenon? And maybe it's a good thing. It's just weird.

It's why I killed my avatar
which was the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland.
:)
Might I suggest
A google image search on "samurai" or "warrior" or "revolutionary"? Just a thought to get the ball rolling.
Not that there's anything wrong with kitty. I like kitty.
silly images are a sign of a silly mind.
Only someone who takes themselves not at all silly would post something next to their name like a cat or, I don't know, a LegoMe.

what is your image?
Looks like a dorm room.
And, btw, "image" is another weird html word. I called it a photo forever googling html and photo to find the code befoe I realized it was "image." Pooh, I say to webwords. Pooh! Go away! would someone stop evolving our language so I don't feel stupid.

It's a building in San Francisco
There's some graffiti on it that says "BNE," which I photoshopped into "BNC" as in BlueNC. It doesn't come across all that well, but I like it better than my grinning sun-glassed mug.
I tried "female" and "warrior"
and got the weirdest collection of large, unnatural-looking, bared breasts. I think I'll keep sweet kitty.
