	Look at me, I'm a hypocrite! Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

I usually question wars that the United States has been involved in.

The past two months I have been working at the Rock Island Arsenal as an office assistant in their Programs department, where I help maintain a filing system of all equipment, supply, and weaponry orders.
$$ It pays well $$ for a temporary, full-time job.

I knew what was all involved at the Rock Island Arsenal when I applied -- who wouldn't know with a name like that for the place? I have seen the artillery weapons they have on display outside in a green park area on the island and one or two near a couple of buildings -- I walk under a turret of one of the howitzers when I go into the building I work in.

So I guess you can call me a hypocrite.

Or maybe since I'm just a lowly office assistant, how much can you say I'm involved with the production, distribution and selling of weapons of war. Some of these were used in the war in Iraq this year.

If I'm a hypocrite, I can take comfort in the fact that at least this job is temporary, and I will be more financially secured when I take off for graduate school.

I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't think the same rules that I apply to myself don't apply to you. If it's acceptable for me to work for Citibank, than why should I think you're a hypocrite for working for an armory?

It's amusing that some people actually take this 'problem' seriously.

Must be fun being a masochist going through life always doubting the purity and correctness of one's choices.

Reminds me of the Python song where the guy is 'so worried about the baggage retrieval system they got at Heathrow.'
