    19 American troops have been killed in Afghanistan since Saturday. No comments on that fact?
    Gasp. Not 19 AMERICAN TROOPS! Ugh. Why is there war, anyway?! It doesn't make since, when we all have the option of living in peace.

    Answer that one and you'll have EARNED a Nobel prize.

    Economics, racism, many other Isms......

    Lost of reasons for war.

    Dividing people is easy. Unification takes work. Work is hard, people by and large are lazy, work doesn't happen, division and strife take over.

    What would really be nice if Vets could receive a special card to go to the medical care center of their choice. We already are paying for VA Hosptials, doctors & staff, just keep the big major VA Hospitals open. A lot of Vets have to drive a long way to get treatment at a VA Hospital the way it is. At least give the Vets a choice. It would be a sanity saver for everyone.

    Here we have what is called a "Gold Card".
    It entitles the bearer to free health care, meds, doctors, dentists, opto, hospital....everything related to the vets health....the card can be used anywhere anytime. Everything is completely free. And if one has to travel a distance to see a doctor or go to hospital etc etc....the card entitles you also to travel, accommodation and meal costs.
    I have had one now for about three years........it's for the rest of my life.
    If a vet has no war related problems, then they don't get the card until they turn 70....and when the vet dies, his wife gets it for the rest of her life.

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand

    I really don't get the idea of carring a cross to remind people of the
    911 terriost attack. Seems like mixing religion with a hateful
    attack inspired and carried out for political reasons.

    Aside from which.. Christians were hardly the only victims in the 9/22 attacks.
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
