text: why is it ok for an 18 year old to go to iraq and get his legs blown off but cant buy a lottery ticket?   honey, around here, you can buy a scratch ticket here if you are 18 and i thought that was how it was all over the country. it's not ok, though, for anyone to go to iraq, we need out servicemen home to care for our own country! iraq is not our problem, bush just wanted to finish what his daddy couldn't!
