US AIRSTRIKE KILLS AT LEAST 18 CHILDREN

[jimboloco]

Yes let's. I got you dead in my sights and send you a big hug, man.

Thanks Hester,

Thank you so much for being who you are Jim, for being real and not a willing puppet. For crashing through the denial, lies and arrogance, and giving us the truth, from one who has really been there........with open eyes that have remained true to the real American spirit.

I got your hand, am starting on Wellbutrin manyana in the mawning. I appreciate your thoughts. I will take care, I went to see my step-grandson play soccer this evening, a make-up game from last Saturday. Had an invitation to go over to Tampa and demonstrate a candle vigil about the 2000th soldier death. I did wear my Vets for Peace cap and cheered my head off. The black sharks lost to the blue sharks 2 to one.

We are resilient enough, folks.

...wars have decreased in the last 50 years or so, and the collateral damage has decreased as well, given increases in precision munitions

Thinking about Claude's father and the world war two vets. The silent fathers who never talked, who spent a lot of time alone in the basement or work shop tinkering around.

Just the words "collateral damage" give me the willies.
so rational,
so reasonable sounding.
puts a nice shinny edge on a lie.
