.The Fight at Walgreen's

I was standing in line at Walgreen’s yesterday to get some Vistaril to help me sleep and a fight broke out, which was kind of funny.

This old lady started going off on how the world would be a better place if John Kerry had been elected….not a good thing to announce in a public place in south Mississippi. Anyway, there was a lady in the national guard (in uniform) in front of her. She told the girl that she shouldn’t be willing to fight in a war for nothing. The girl said that she believed in the war and in George Bush and she said she was willing to fight to protect the US and her family. The liberal lady started telling everyone that it was sad that they had bought into Bush’s lies…and then she started going off on how the war in Iraq was like Vietnam, which promptly pissed off an older man who announced that he was retired military and that he didn’t want to hear another word from her. A younger guy went off on her saying that she mustve wanted Hussein to stay in power. The lady said that Hussein had nothing to do with the US and that it was stupid to think he did. Man, it was entertaining. Finally, after the Walgreens pharmacy called 2 managers, they all shut up.

I don’t talk about politics very much…mainly because my beliefs and views are a bit different than most in my rural inhabitance. However, I did want to tell the lady to back off on the military…those people in line with her had fought so that she’d be able to stand in a public place and go off on them. Not exactly the thanks that they deserve.
