I know what you mean... every week I watch George Stephanopolis (spelling is probally not right) and tears roll down my face as all the names, ages and home towns are blazed across the screen. JJ says why do you do it when you know you get upset... I tell him "because I need to... I need to acknowledge what these kids have given us... their lives and to mourn in my own way for them and their families... for I could be one of them.

Samm,
Thank you for saying everything you've said.
You found words that I haven't been able to find.
Thanks.

i just don't understand the whole thought process of 'feel for a horse-therefore you don't feel for a human'. how does that go together? how does doing the one automatically exclude the other??

it doesn't.

Wanted to say exactly the same sort of thing Z.
These sports guys on the radio here in San Antonio were making fun of the Barbaro thing (glue/horsemeat to the Arabs), acting like some jocks sitting at a bar and then they got wailed on by a bunch of call ins.

They responed with we got kids dying in Iraq dont give me this horse crap... The same crappy change the intent cop-out when ya get kicked in the tiny test es for saying something stupid I say.
