Bobby Bean comes home from 4th grade & tells his father that they learned about the history of Valentine's Day. 'Since Valentine's Day is for a Christian saint, and we're Jewish,' he said, 'Will God get mad at me for giving someone a valentine?
Bean's father thinks a bit, then says 'No, I don't think God would get mad. Whom do you want to give a Valentine?
Muammar al Gaddafi, he said.
'Why Muammar al Gaddafi?' his father asks in shock. 'Well,' he says, 'I thought that if a little American Jewish boy could have enough love to give Muammar al Gaddafi, he might start to think that maybe we're not all bad, and maybe start loving people a little bit.
And if other kids saw what I did and sent Valentines to Muammar al Gaddafi, he'd love everyone a lot. And then he'd start going all over the place to tell everyone how much he loved them, and how he didn't hate anyone anymore.'
His father's heart swelled and he looked at his son with new found pride. 'Boy, that's the most wonderful thing I have ever heard.'
'I know, ' Bobby says, 'and oncethat gets him out in the open, the Marines could shoot the bastard.'

How To Survive Traffic Stops in America, Submit, Instantly! - What the cops want is immediate obedience and submission. Many cops are ex-military and view the civilian motorists of America about like they viewed the hapless peasants of Iraq and Afghanistan, that is, with contempt, not as fellow citizens deserving of civility and respect. It is a possibly lethal mistake to do anything other than submit, instantly and obey! Or be ready to shoot first. But aim high.
