2. ThomWV, are you still changing the number(s)
daily, for your neighbors to see? I think that was you and thought it was a great idea.

7. Yes
Every day I check the dreaded number.

I cut off a section from a roll of paper I bought at an auction for $2. Its about 4' long but I fold it over in half. Then out comes a can of cheap black spray paint. I put the number on each side of the folded paper, then I got staple it to the stand for an old Kerry/Edwards sign that used to stand proud on my place.

Every day.

They all know.

Maybe I should take a picture and post it for you.

3. Oh, but that's nowhere near the number who died in Vietnam, so it's okay.

15. It seems the retaliation ...doubled the loss of American lives,
and thousands wounded.

Add 100,000 Iraqis dead. Each death was crying shame!

I am so sick of it all!
