not only was that so tiny i could hardly read the text, but i stand by 
what i said.

people would be outraged if shots of arlington were used in ads, I 
would be outraged if columbine were to be used in ads, and i am 
outraged that he is using the images of the WTC, where thousands of 
people died, for political gain.
