I hadn’t realized he noticed that our soldiers have died! Huh? ;-)

However having never heard the man I honestly would not know what he talks about.

What I find very disturbing about war is the use, abuse and manipulation of the soldiers. Most of them simply do what they are told and do not even question the underlying motives for their being sent into war.

This is a very difficult postion to be in and demands that people suspend their rational thought and simply focus on some micro task, like driving a humvee or protecting a check point or fueling a plane. Soldiers are not allowed to think about the politics or the social implications about what they are engaged in.

I see this as completely wrong. It’s a kind of imprisonment and loss of freedom. The army takes away your freedom to think and speak out about your thoughts.

While I understand the need for discipline, I also think that ANYONE who does not understand their mission, the over all mission or who does and does not want to participate should be honorably removed from the army and operations.

I see armies as forced labor and it seems terribly anti democratic for a democratic society.

The ROM (republican owned media) is no longer reporting on the illegal occupation of Iraq, because the ROM knows if the images are not being seen the American people will forget about it and they (the Bush Regime) can say what they want about what is going on over there. Spit.

I have been trying to find out how many funerals our mighty leader has attended but don’t seem to be able to find a record of any attended. Is this a state secret or something?

he is also attempting to engage in the conversation about race that we all say we want.

true but his approach to the subject was interesting. However having never heard the man I honestly would not know what he talks about.

Wha? You got crocuses popping through the ground???!!!! I’m jealous! We’ve got 3 feet of thick icy snow from the house to the fence and the snow along the road out front is still well over 5 feet. Tired of it! I noticed my brand new beeee-u-tee-full fence I had installed last fall is starting to bulge from the weight of the snow. If we don’t get some warm weather soon, the fence will be money down the drain!

Good morning Nomolos! Cold where you are this morning? Bitter cold here. I wonder if I could buy a blade of grass to remind myself what one looks like? Huh. I wonder. ;-)

As I look out the window I see NO SNOW! However the fish pond is a block of ice and there are icebergs along the shore line (low tide). You are still under ten feet of snow I understand. I even saw a hint of crocus in the garden yesterday. Here’s hoping fro spring. Stay warm.
