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!

Hardly Anyone Knows Or Cares

The number is in for last month and it's not a good one. It's never a good one when it represents deaths of people who have died for nothing but the whims of corporate whore politicians that love war and death just as long as it's not them or theirs. That's right we're supposed to be leaving soon and then all will be just fine ya see.

    I have two sons, both now middle-aged. But had either of them died in Afghanistan, I would have been unable to bear it.

    I'm sure Fearguth and it's really terrible on my part to say these soldiers are being killed for no good reason but it's true I don't give a shit who it pisses off anymore or if feelings are hurt. Even Jim Joiner says the same and he's got two over there.

    It must end but of course it will not.

    Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori:
    "The old lie - how sweet it is to die for one's country." And not just the lives that ended, real lives only represented by numbers, but every life lost affects many other lives: fathers, mothers, wives, or husbands, sons and daughters, on and on and on....

    It's so Far beyond shameful.

    Almost as shameful is how we treat the veterans who need extensive care, both physical and, perhaps even more so, psychological. Nobody talks about the suicides, and there are well over 1500 of them from Iraq and Afghanistan alone.

    Sorry. This touched a nerve, deeply.

    As a country with all the problems we face here and on the planet we as a people and as a nation need decisions made that will ensure the survival of all of us.

    Of course decisions like this will never happen given the mood and mentality we are in at this time.

    I just do not think there is a way to get this back to the people at this time. We love our wars and non-existent sky beings way too much.

    My brother spent one year in Vietnam. We still pay the price.
