"The american born Tokyo Rose was practicing a form of dissent,wasnt she?
She broadcast ship movements,and then those ships were attacked by Japanese planes. Men died in those attacks."

That's UN-AMERICAN!
Teehee....
osso, I'm pretty sure I saw your picture on a bottle of Jones' Soda this morning.
