maybe letting 16 year olds go to the army is not such a bad idea . we have like 100s of us die each year. personally we should send ever one throw basic training. Did you know that the number one killer in the USA is fatness pretty sad

Martha is comic relief in a sometimes depressing world. She lies when the truth would serve better. Witch.

Sorry, I really, really do try not to rise to this kind of comment, but sometimes I just can't help myself.
Exactly what 'world' are you referring to? The only 'world' that regards the United States as possessing moral leadership is... the narrow, navel-gazing 'world' of the United States itself.
Moral leadership? It's never smelled like that to the rest of us.
