During the three years I was in the Army I heard more complaining  
(that's the polite word) than I have ever heard since in civilian  
life. Complaining is a natural reaction to conditions disliked.

The media, of all political leanings, must sell advertising or they  
are out of business. Writers must produce copy that readers read. If  
it bleeds, it leads. If there is no blood around, find some or spin  
some.

Many of us feel strongly positive about our country. Many of us know  
its promise. Many of us can see how certain people are lying to us and  
hurting our people and our country. I am never going to stop  
complaining about that. I think it is unpatriotic to be quiet.
