Again...you say it's important but when it happens to you...you do the exact opposite.
Either you're lying to us or lying to yourself...or both.
My guess is that you've constructed the entire elaborate story because it fits right in with conservatives since day one. We have conservatives here who claim to have studied medicine at the age on 9, have $20M, retired at 45 on dividend income, said they were in combat at 67, said the FBI paid them a visit because of their posting, were "gunned down" but somehow have no ill effects of having been "gunned down" so recently, swear they are married to a black woman (after calling blacks "the problem)....and these are just a sampling of the whoppers I know about. Why do you guys do this? Simple...to garner the attention on-line that you can't garner in real life.
