14. I talked to some of those children
Their parents brought them. How stupid was that? Yes, let's take the kids down to see the crazy hippie protesters yelling at the president.

One parent was wearing a t-shirt that said "Freedom Isn't Free". We told her no it's not, it costs about a billion dollars a week and 2666 American military lives.

Her little 8 year old boy told my friend he wanted to be a Marine and fight in the war. So my friend gave him a card with the number for the GI Bill of Rights hotline. She told him he would need it. A few minutes later, he came back and gave the card back to her, because his mom told him not to read it. Yep, in that family freedom ain't free. It doesn't exist at all.
