    Fine! Put me on "ignore" like nearly all the rest of the hyperlibs do. Hide in the dark, or I may find you and disturb you with my superior education and mentality (to say nothing of my ability to spell words like "vaccination" and "government" :omg:).

    Knowledge can cure ignorance, as I said, but it does nothing for stupidity.... Bye!

    My grand-daughter had to get a hepatitis vaccine before leaving the hospital after being born. That's just nuts!! Injecting viruses into a 2 day old baby?? Insane!!

    Over-vaccination is very dangerous to developing organs and can lead to auto immune diseases. 'Some' vaccines are prudent, but most are just over the top. Government is on a tear to protect us from ourselves. Government mandated vaccines without overwhelming evidence of obvious benefit is maniacal. The people are not lab rats, but Big Brother seems to think otherwise.

    Interesting to note is that vaccine use in babies and children is on a sharp rise, while veterinarians are now advocating for less vaccination in animals due to obvious health problems linked to over-vaccination. We are not identical to, but also not so different than other mammals.

    Thank you Birddog.

    I'll use this opportunity, please, to leave a little information for others among us who are, uh, "challenged" in such a way that they are evidently incapable of reading simple information on the web... (wink!)

    This little note from Rick Perry's history that will clarify that his entry into the U. S. Air Force was preceeded by attending Texas A&M University (my old arch-rival, since I went to the Univ. of Texas in Austin....).

    Now, obviously, Rick Perry wanted to be an Air Force pilot, and you couldn't do that unless you were a commissioned officer (during Vietnam Era). Equally obvious was the fact that this is why Rick went to Texas A&M -- so that he could graduate and get his "butter bars" as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Air Force, and then go on to Air Force Flight School.

    This is from Rick Perry's Governor of Texas website: http://www.governor.state.tx.us/about/
    "He is a 1972 graduate of Texas A&M University. Between 1972 and 1977, Governor Perry served in the United States Air Force, flying C-130 tactical airlift aircraft in the U.S., Europe and the Middle East."

    Another poster in this thread who had no knowledge whatever of how Selective Service (the "Draft") worked in this country, accused Gov. Perry of being a coward and draft-dodger for not being in the military and going to Vietnam. Nothing could be further from the truth, obviously. A LOT of us had what were called "II-S Deferments", so that we could graduate from college before we were drafted into the military, or, freely join the military as Gov. Perry did (and myself, and millions of other guys).

    By the tiime Gov. Perry graduated from college, was commissioned in the U. S. Air Force, and went through Air Force Flight School, the United States wasn't sending military personnel to Vietnam anymore! All anyone has to do to verify any of this is use the internet, because it's all there. I knew it from memory, because I lived it.... Thank you.

    I never thought I'd say it, but I wish they'd bring the Draft back... because it might really brighten up some of the "duller bulbs" among us by undergoing that *unique* experience.... :-D

    Why do you keep on beating a dead horse? A dead horse has more brains than any idiot who thinks Perry was a "draft dodger". Nobody cares what d-bags like that think anyway because they just come to forums like this sling (*)(*)(*)(*) and don't care anything about the truth anyway.

    Rick Perry's draft number was 139 (based on birthdate). His year was called up to draft number 195.
    So he would have been drafted if he had not joined. Not every draftee was sent to Vietnam.
