60. I remember that day...and this war mongering must end!

I have hated and protested the war machine for money for most of my life. As A1 in the Vietnam draft (almost Jeff's age), I personally knew people at Kent State, but also knew so many more who died or were hurt in insane wars for profit and power.

I really believe that the "enemy" who was killed, from Korea to Vietnam to Iraq also left many who cried for them. You express perfectly an undercurrent for my life that is almost impossible to explain to the young college students that I teach today.

Your loss is the world's loss, and I know that Jeff was absolutely right, "Where does it end?"

:cry:
