Ok, so I know I haven't been on this thread, but I really need to vent about this...
Today in history class, someone saw the Kerry pin I keep on my backpack, and asked me why I support Kerry. I very calmly explained that it's because I have a chronic illness(won't get into that) which needs stem cell research to be cured, and with the current Bush policies, I'll either never get cured, or by the time I do my life will be so wrecked by it that it'll have very little point. The person responded by telling me that since I said that, I have no morals, and I deserve to be sick and die. Wonderful, right?
I respect people's rights to disagree with me, but I really don't think death threats are necessary...especially since it's another 3 years before I can actually vote...
