I drove past this between Salida and Cotopaxi on State Highway 50 in Colorado. I had to turn around and tell whoever that I stood with them totally assuming I was correct. I was and got the biggest hug of appreciation for doing so.

From my understanding, there are close to 3000 children being held around this country after being seized from their parents at the border.

Many will never see their Mom and Dad again because Republicans are totally evil.

You bastards!

Hope And The Reality

My hope for a long time now has been that our country would change from a government controlled by the Pentagon with a budget for them that makes it impossible to implement and sustain programs we need "for the people".

Was I ever naive to actually think such a thing because the reality is just the opposite. 25 this month killed in Afghanistan and most are good with that - thinking they get a pass for not saying no to perpetual war for the corporations because they spend a few minutes today to acknowledge those killed in our wars.

Paying homage to these men and women across the land doesn't mean a whole hell of a lot if at every cemetery there is not a cry by the speakers and attendee's to bring this perpetual war machine to an end.

  3. I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.

    1. That was on a little lake in Missouri. It caught my eye and lo and behold as they say this picture happened. To me this represents a kids imagination. Thank you!

      I did not see many pictures there.
