And I don't really think soldiers have given us freedom of speech. Politicians and peaceful methods, not war and force accomplish most of that sort of thing. This poem is really just a patriotic work.

Magness lets out a major sigh of frustration .....

Magness restrains himself from punching out his poor, innocent monitor...

Magness counts to 10, very slowly ... to ... calm ... dowm ...

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGH!!!!!!!!!

Magness feels only slightly better.

Hey all you liberal i#%@#^%'s... peaceful means only work when those whom you protest against actually have some morals (and I don't necessarily mean religous morals) and are willing to listen and be swayed. Peaceful means do NOT work when the opponent is intent on conquest and your destruction!!!

I'd have loved to see a bunch of French protesters walking down the Champs Elysee (sp?) in Nazi-occupied Paris. I'm sure that Hilter would have just come to senses and leave France. Yeah... right. He'd have ordered them friggin' shot!!!

And like Khan said, I'm sure that the British would have just loaded up their ships and left colonial America prior to the American Revolution is we had just politely asked. Give me a friggin' break!!!

Absolutely correct.

Morgan_Corbesant, great poem, whoever wrote it.
