Don't know why anyone can't have a discussion about what's going on?

It'd be a pretty boring existence if we all agreed on everything. And as much as I like to devour Spences lame arguments I think he's a decent guy even though he wasn't raised properly and his values are skewed.

Whether we are or not I'm not sure. I do know though that across the street from the P.D. I work at is a baseball field and a guy who was behind me a few years in high school erected the well-known display with the baseballs inside the cabinet with all the dead g.i.'s name on the balls. He and his friend that does the fancy writing on the balls stopped adding the deceased names quite a while ago I believe it became simply too difficult emotionally. Even though it has been there for quite some time every once in awhile a mother and/or father or friend come into our station and ask it location. Most of you saw this on ESPN or somewhere else. The other day a guy came in asking where it was and I pointed it out to him. He was a guy who wasn't too tall, and walked with a limp. I knew his son or daughters name was on one of the balls. That is easy to tell. I walked part way with him because as soon as he saw it behind the first base dugout it kind of took his breath away. After he got on the other side of the street and actually in the park he was o.k. His wife met him part way and they finished the walk together. I think just about every parent and many friends from all over who childs name is on display has been there. Some of them even want to speak with the two guys whose idea it was to do this. I have permission from one guy to give his name and number. Not on of these paeople have said anything one way or the other about the war, not one.

I've never heard of that before... that's neat. Not sure I'd talk war either after that kind of trauma though.. I'm sure there are some who would be pro and some con... however sad, I don't think that's a good ruler to measure this by.

It's kinda like this

President Bush and that moron Condoleeza Rice are sitting in a bar.

A guy walks in and asks the barman, "Isn't that Bush and Rice sitting over there?"

The barman says, "Yep, that's them."

So the guy walks over and says, "Wow, this is a real honor. What are you guys doing in here?"

Bush says, "We're planning WW III ".

And the guy says, "Really? What's going to happen?"

Bush says, "Well, we're going to kill 140 million Iraqis this time and one bicycle repairman."

The guy exclaimed, "A bicycle repairman? Why kill a bicycle repairman?

Bush turns to Rice, punches her on the shoulder and says, "See, smart ass! I told you no one would worry about the 140 million Iraqis!"
