Who's opposed to Afghanistan?

Stardate 7919.25

You may notice a button in the top left of my blog. This button takes you to the OUT OF AFGHANISTAN petition started by Matthew Good. Feel free to go and sign it.

What is interesting is that the latest Strategic Counsel poll shows overwhelming opposition to the war in Afghanistan.

Total Support: 36%
Strongly Support: 7%
Support: 29%
Oppose: 31%
Strongly Oppose: 27%
Total Oppose: 59%

I am guessing the other 5% don't know where Afghanistan is :D

Like the majority it seems, I support bringing the troops home.

What meanest "Support"

Stardate 7904.12

The old phrase began by the US admin and ripped off by Canadian politicians has become quite the catch-phrase.

"Support the Troops".

What exactly do they mean?

"We love you guys"
or
"Thanks for defending my freedom thousands of light years away"
or
"Go boys go! Kick some ass!!!!!"
or maybe
"Send money to the Armed Forces for bullets, boots and bagels"

or maybe simply for us to willingly send more young Canadians over to fight in another BS war with questionable motives and objectives...

Or maybe it is still just political rhetoric. After all, some people think that because you oppose a war (or two) you are turning your back on our boys that have been sent there. I don't need to support anything if I don't want to, and I don't need a thousand stupid stickers on tailgates to demand I do either.

Greetings from Spamcards.com

Stardate 7843.74

What the hell is with all of the spam crap coming from all sorts of phony greetings cards? There has been a marked increase in these as the last few days have gone on. Everything from riversongs.com to dgreetings.com to hallmark.com (of course they are not in fact from these places).

Do NOT open any or click on the links I say.
