Grandma believes that our president has an overwhelming need to be

understood. We are all a bit like that. I hope that he understands America's need to ignore a voice of authority when it speaks too often on too many subjects.

The Down Economy teaches what is important to Capitalists...I believe

A rose by any other name would stink as strongly, I believe.

Used to be disgraced BLACKWATER I have been following this business, under its many names and through its activities in many nations, its recruiting and otherwise and I was NOT surprised to see them change their name to something totally meaningless to anyone but the owner.

Why do I dare to believe that someday, we will all love one another?

All the evidence around me points to the great difficult job that it will be, teaching the world to love itself and its inhabitants, but the foolish child in me, the one who began her life loving everyone around her, still believes that this can be taught to everyone else.

Send them all, if you'd like. Here>>>> A Recovering American Soldier c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center... Sign in to see full entry.
