I'd rather save my eventual imprisonment for something tangible I do, like amking the masses aware of actual wrongdoing by the administration. I guess my answer makes me kinda vain

For mist cases, I would follow's larry's lead. But ... not for Bush. There are certain thresholds I cannot cross. I would not shake hands; I have no interest in being used as part of his PR/ propaganda. I'd give him the ol' "Iron Squeeze" hand-shake..just to see if he registers pain like the mothers of those dead soldiers. Shake his hand & grin from ear to ear for the photo, of course just thinking of the progress in Iraq I would be grinning anyway. I would keep my hands firmly clasped behind my back and look him straight in the eye. and make a complete ass of yourself doing so... In your opinion, my friend. At least I wouldn't spit. Les6, did you ever see the old news footage of Joe DiMaggio refusing to shake the hand of Robert Kennedy? Kennedy was gladhanding a line of baseball Hall-of-Famers, and when he came to Joe, Joe stepped back, with his hands clasped behind his back. It was a memorable moment, carried off with great dignity. Joe wouldn't shake RFK's hand because he suspected he had abused Marilyn Monroe (Joe's ex-wife). If you disrespect someone, however high-powered that person is, you shouldn't be obliged to shake his/her hand. If you lived in an oppressed country that wasn't free you wouldn't have the choice. Be thankful that you do. After I was once fired from a job, when walking out of the place, I turned around and offered my hand, and he said, "No hard feelings?" and I agreed and we shook hands. Of course I DO harbor hard feelings toward him (even now...) and hope he dies a miserable death for firing me, but that's neither here nor there. As for Bush, I'd never shake his hand. Nope. Never.
